Tell HN: YouTube history setting privacy implications

4•tinaclaussen•3h ago
As user viewer (not channel owner) I have setup YouTube history to be only for max 3 months. Then auto-delete. Today I checked that this setting applies only to users' Video Watch History.

One has to manually go https://myactivity.google.com/page?page=youtube_comment_likes to delete Your Likes and Dislikes on YouTube and

delete comments at https://myactivity.google.com/page?hl=en&utm_medium=web&utm_source=youtube&page=youtube_comments for deleting Youtube Comments.

Is that really surprising? Does it even make sense to time-limit likes/dislikes?

Similarly for comments: in what use cases (disregarding malicious ones) does it make sense to automatically delete them after a timeout?

Consider what HN would look like if peoples' votes and comments disappeared every 3 months.
