FWIW apparently this is talking about their free content, not about user content.
And that makes a difference to you?
It does, yeah.
If they are providing the content, they can see that they are providing the content and that much is obvious.
If you are providing the content, you wouldn't expect that they can identify what you are watching.
That's the difference to me, yeah.
Mmmmm gross.
I'll leave you with this, though. Shit like this is all goalposts. For now it's just "their" content and not yours. But in 12 months it's gonna be all content. And what excuse will you make for them, then?
I'll switch to jellyfin like a normal adult who actually reads the updates and not a reactionary who just reads thread titles.
