“This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.”

It’s the blatant bald-faced lying that really gets me. They’re openly broadcasting how little respect they have for you, that they think you’ll swallow that as a valid reason not to function.

It’s as if some manager at Google deep down knows he’s a piece of shit who belongs in a gulag, and is subconsciously trying to bring it about.

This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.

But that you do that is the reason to use a VPN/proxy.
