Hi,

I was wondering about the services I can’t boycott. Youtube being one.

If youtubes value is my usage data, can I obfuscate their data by liking things I don’t really care about, changing my info, and get irrelevant ads, thus making the advertising product less effective and valuable?

And create some doubt about value in the mind of advertisers in the proces?

I’m not dumb enough to think it matters if only I do it. But if it was a movement?

    I’d need some way of getting the random things to follow. I was thinking a plugin like the good old stumbleUpon days.

    I’m om youtube, bam it suggests something to fuck with their tracking. I click. Done.

    Same on fb.

    I’ve done it manually on fb and it had the weird effect of just making fb sooooo boring. After a while it was real easy to just delete.

    But yeah for sure, adblockers also count :)
