I wish I could just delete it. I'm still figuring out things with nextcloud and I run a youtube channel so I can't do that yet.
If the only reason you’re keeping it is to make and post YouTube videos, it doesn’t sound like you wish you could delete it.
@sidgames5 @trippingonthewire Is there a more privacy-friendly option (non-data siphoning) for video hosting?

You could create an Odysee channel perhaps, and try to migrate there. Then you're supporting competition.
