Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers? (lemmy.world)

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?

Can you explain more? Would DNS level blocking stop ads on a smart TV (for YouTube specifically) as well?

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)

They are talking about on a smart TV.
