Youtube is a surveillance device.

I only have libretube on my phone so YouTube links just open in libretube instead which I believe should address the surveillance aspect

they still see your ip and the vid you played tho

Doesn't libretube use a piped instance as a proxy by default so our IP isn't revealed to YT? I guess you could also run a VPN in the background
