It's not so much a "narrative" as a well studied phenomenon among all oppressed groups.

There are individuals in all oppressed groups who, for complicated reasons, enable the cycle of oppression by policing peers, enforcing harmful norms, and seeking proximity to power at their own group's expense. (I'm making an observation and not a moral judgement)

NewPipe works if you're desperate

Online privacy typically requires that you think of what you are trying to protect yourself from.

So, what are you trying to prevent?

A VPN will make your public IP address private. This can hide some activity from your ISP, hackers, marketing companies. However, it's only one layer of protection.

(You could also use NewPipe as a replacement to the YouTube app.)

However, some VPN companies will track you and sell your information. Because of this, I recommend ProtonVPN (free tier, Swiss-based, encrypted traffic that they can't even de-anonymize).

If you want more complete privacy, you'd want to use something like a Tor Box, but these aren't typically good for streaming because the layered routing makes for a slow Internet connection.

Try NewPipe

I've worked in IT Security for a number of Fortune 500 companies and saw a guy get fired because he brought his work laptop from the U.S. to China (over a year ago).

This was because there have been documented cases where, at Customs in the airport, government workers can take the laptop, quickly image it, and give it back to you without you ever knowing and they now have a copy of your device.
