You also don't need youtube to publish it. I'm glad this entire conversation happened because it revealed just how ignorant and inconsiderate this community is regarding respecting other member's privacy.

The issue isn't the message. It is using a data gathering corporation to send it out and even using it here. It's hypocritical to what I thought this community was for. If OP had used an Invidious or Peertube link it wouldn't have been a problem. Do you not understand that by clicking on the link you could be flagged as 'worthy of stricter scrutiny', or a premium put on your specific data exactly because they now know you're trying to hide it?

I agree, somewhat. However, this message isn't meant for people already putting privacy first. This message is meant for people who should. They won't see the video if it's on peertube.
