    Why would YouTube comment model have access to location data? That’s literally one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

    Why do people allow shady companies to have this level of access to anything? Poison, Lie, Obfuscate, and block every script and site that isn’t needed specifically to accomplish your task.

      It may be that they’re a YouTube personality and need it for payment.

      But honestly. The number of people who put their DOB and address into a website to get a coupon is INSANE.

    I really hate this feature that makes comment or email responses into dialogue trees. I get that it’s still an option to do that even if they aren’t putting it right into the UI, but it’s rude to substitute an autogenenerated message for a few of your own words and for it to be a direct part of the interface like this implies that it’s instead fine and normal.
