Was it about how to live without Google or how to bypass ads on YouTube?

The video that was removed talked about blocking ads on YouTube which goes against contract terms for YouTubers. The one about switching away from Google service is still up.

He shouldn’t have referred to it as “blocking ads.”

Instead, say that you’ll be explaining how to “preserve privacy” or “uncluttered the viewing experience”, and it would be totally up to interpretation and assumption that he’s actually talking about blocking ads.

Then the lemmy title is misleading, no? Isn’t that against the rules?
