    You think wrong. YouTube has prompted for login in you're not already for ages. Even if there had been a change recently, why would it have anything at all with the US election result (and I mean a real reason, not empty rhetoric)?

    YouTube and Google are American companies and they are connected.
    The leader of my country has hardly anything to do with them. Meaning they won't listen, even if he said something.
    The US President, I'm not sure about his influence on Google/Youtube.
    But it all started when Trump got "lost" and the regime changed. What are the odds? I guess the same as Twitter and Facebook slashing Trump.

    Except that youtube has offered the sign in feature for YEARS. What that means is it was in place BEFORE Biden took office. And Biden has zero influence over any private company.

    Also selling your data.

    I don't trust google to honor their promise.

    So hold on here.

    You make a thread blaming Biden for changes in marketing in a country not run by Biden, where the Internet rules are regulated by politicians NOT named Biden - but it’s Biden’s fault?

    WTF. Whatever.

    Everything n the internet has gone to hell since Dirty Donald killed net neutrality. Everybody and everything wants a subscription to give access. It went from being the greatest source of free information to nothing but a pay to play scam.

    Clue. They don't just create the sites for our fun and entertainment. It was always pay to play. It just requires a different way to pay.

    It's not about that. I know the "sign in" option is at least 10 years old. But untill recently I didn't get a dialog box (<-link), asking me to log in and "Not now" as a second option.

    Idk, I just noticed the facts. You make your own conclusions.

    Everything is the president's fault. You on the left taught us that over the last four years.

    can you give us an example of what the left blamed Trump for in less than a month in office?

    other than his false crowd size claims, he did not get blame for much

    the previous President always gets blame for the problems they pass on to the next President

    Then speak to your government, ask them to pass some laws on how your data is handled

    Can you give us an example of something that he wasn't blamed for? I'm referring mostly to the left-wing media outlets, but it applies to all the liberals on this forum as well. What goes around comes around.

    Can you take a screen shot of this "log in"? I don't think it's a log in prompt. I suspect it's the prompt for the 30 day trial of youtube premium. Of which I have been getting LONG before Biden got in office.
    And again, I don't get any "log in" prompt so if it's allegedly happening in your country then it has ZERO to do with Biden. Odd you think Biden would A) care about youtube having people sign in and B) have any say on what youtube does.

    come on, you can't think of even one thing Trump was blamed for in his first month in office, not one?

    yet you're claiming the right is doing this to Biden cause the left did it to Trump?

    Are you trying to insult my intelligence? I know a dialog box when I see one. Plus, even if I took a screenshot, you wouldn't get a word, since it is not in English. The prompt darkens the background and gives me 2 options:

    1. Sign in (you will be able to comment, bla-bla-bla)
    2. Not now

    Well, it coincided with Bidens presidency. Perhaps it has something to do with it, perhaps it doesn't. Just noticing the facts.

    Except it doesn't happen in the US. I suppose it's Biden's grand plan to take over your country...beware the boogeyman.

    That post makes sense, until one realizes the collaboration between Big Business and Big Government. The two have nearly become one and the same.
