What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

Tracker blocking youtube results in new videos not adding to your history, recommendations freezing permanently, youtube just regurgitates the same stuff and seemingly never refreshes

I'm using uBlock Origin and NextDNS and I don't have that issue. (Firefox, win10)

I used ubiquiti's dns level ad/tracker blocker

Effects were on every device and app except firefox - especially on smart TVs

Even other browsers? How odd. Another Firefox W to add to the long list, I suppose.

Firefox tends to use dns over https by default, bypassing any dns level tracker blocking

My ads still get blocked if I turn off uBlock Origin, though.
