I am starting to use a RSS feed (Akregator). I intend to use it to follow youtube channels, and try to learn what else it can do. What kind of privacy issues should I be aware of? Are there settings I can use to improve privacy? I use a vpn, is there something else I should do?

    The biggest issue would be YouTube fingerprinting my RSS browser. But I am trying to learn about privacy, so I don’t know anything.

      I’d be pretty shocked if the ad networks that spy on all of us care about RSS. You’re going to look like a bot, noise they actively try to ignore. The relevant piece of data to them would be a clickthru to the website (which they would then probably care about attributing to RSS)
