the advertising company that has an interest in having as much data about you and your household as humanly possible said it wouldn't do that, but then it did!

no way anyone could have foreseen such an unlikely malfunction.

i agree that this is obvious to all of us but it sure would be nice if there was some disclosure and informed consent regulation about it so innocent victims who dont know google is an ad company can make a decision

user should be shown a modal warning that says in big type "this device will send and record forever every conversation held around it. type i agree to being spied on to continue"

google, what’s the temperature inside?

quote:

It is giving you the temperature in Side Mahallesi in Turkey. If you type on your phone what is the temperature in side? It will give you the weather forecast for this town in Turkey. Sometimes if you emphasize the in of inside it understands it as two words and looks up the temperature currently of Side.

a lot of "old comedy stuff" is unwatchable today because it's really homophobic but i can't see why having a lot of that stuff favorited would make a problem unless someone specifically sought you out to make it a problem

like, "favorites" isn't really a play list so um, what? did someone get a bit zealous with the "spotify playlist meme" crusade?

its literally just the playlist that youtube created for me when they removed the "favorite" functionality years ago. like they just converted my favorites to a playlist. idk if it was even public?

theres probably some problematic stuff in there but ive never been a fan of comedy that kicks down so i doubt its a lot. it had like 2000+ videos though so :shrug:

also clicked the help center link in their email, it goes to https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines which refuses to show in anything but german. if i change language it just redirects back to german lollol

i use my "favorites" as the default dump for "video i'd like to watch again someday" and it's like 500 videos long. i never make new playlists. if youtube had feelings it would probably be frustrated that i was not giving them valuable metadata to harvest the adrogithm with to sell the content clicks into montezization google distujpttavgdddvcccccccccccccccccc
