Think about it, Google Maps is (I think) the biggest collection of map data and information on locations everywhere around the world, yet I don’t want an advertising company knowing that I just went to a fast food place.

YouTube is an endless trove of video content that anyone can contribute to, yet I’d much rather not give an advertiser information on every little interest that I have in video.

It’s so bad for you, but it’s so good.

    That’s a nightmare. You could try starting clean and going to your Google account settings and completely wiping your view history. You might be able to do it from the YouTube site, but I’m not sure. Hopefully that’ll help a little? Edit: just saw you weren’t even logged in! In that case…no idea. Best of luck 🤞✊
