Might be a pointless thread, but those of you with a youtube account, I'm sure you've noticed by now, or if not, you will soon.
When I tried to comment on a video, a pop up appeared, telling me to change my "hard to read" username to the name I'm "most well known as." It wanted me to use my full name for my youtube account.
Didn't youtube used to be kind of strict about name changing?
Anyway, when I refused to change my youtube username, the pop up then demanded that I select a reason as to WHY I didn't want to change it. There were about six options, can't remember them all. One said "My account is named after a fictional character, so I can't use my real name" One said "My account if made for a cause or organisation, so I can't use my real name" and it had a few other options similar to those.
And is it me, or is youtube becoming much better at remembering every video you watch? Ever see a video in the side menu that's related to a video you watched a month ago?

The remedy is simple. Unplug your router cable from your computer, and remove all WiFi enabled hardware in the system. Short of that? You're going to be tracked or observed in some form or another.
