    I work in this industry and I can confirm that there’s fucking nothing ensuring the privacy of these transactions. Tens of thousands of people have full access to everyone’s credit card history, and that’s not counting unauthorized access and card skimmers.

          It’s a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.

          Given your browser couldn’t show anything useful from that webpage, @[email protected] offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.

      If you’re in the US, your bank knows way more about you than that and it’s naive to believe otherwise. A lack of credit doesn’t mean a lack of tracking; it just means your data is being pulled from elsewhere.

      If you’re not in the US, you might have a better chance at privacy.

          Do you have a drivers license? A social security number? A phone number that you’ve used for anything else? Utility bills? Relatives? A car? Other large property?

          Cash doesn’t mean shit unless you pay for everything in cash and never use the same info (including name, address, phone number, social, etc) for everything.

            No car, no property, no phone number.

            I don’t think a bank having my social security number is a privacy risk.

            I do not give my name when I buy groceries or 99% of purchases. I don’t see your point.
