Bad move. I guess that's a plus for peertube.

If you read closer they track IP address for "precise geolocation" and also fingerprint your device, as well as remotely store on your device. Likely they also sell any data they can scrape to data brokers. Rejecting cookies does very little.

Try https://lbry.itzzen.net/
