Just a small heads up; ive noticed a uptick in links spread on Reddit, 4chan and even here to collaborative playlist from youtube, spotify and similar with very non or very few followers. All coming from new accounts.

Its a common way to fish for your personal data. They will make a new list and post it in only certain posts/threads and wait for you to subscribe with your account.

An easy way to protect yourself is by setting your phone or pc to open links in a second browser where you are not logged into anything. Set it to delete cookies on exit.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

      i disagree, i think it’s actually reasonable to decide you’d rather tell big social media sites that you’re a tor user than let them know where you’re physically located all the time (especially if you travel).

        Right, I didn’t consider people who travel. That’s definitely one reason. (Although a person who’s concerned about privacy probably shouldn’t use any social media sites that require them to reveal their identity.)
