I know I'm in the extreme minority here but I also hate Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Spotify, Apple Music, and even Youtube tracking what I watch. For youtube I watch lots of things in incognito mode. I like the idea of getting recommendations. I hate the idea of a profile being built on me.
Yes I get this Sonos is arguably worse since they're spying on stuff not from a service. iTunes does this as well though you can opt out. Oculus does it too. No opt out there AFAIK. Steam as well. You can add in PS4/Switch/Xbox too.
Does the law preventing companies sharing your video rental history apply to internet companies and streaming music, videos, and games?
