        Guilty.

        Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

            I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I’m not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.

            Forums are not social media. How is this hard to understand. Forums have existed for decades longer than social media and if you include forums in the definition of social media then you literally by definition include every comment section on every blog, news site, and even things like the FCC request for comments from citizens.

            It’s absolutely idiotic to include forums in that definition. You make the definition so wide as to be useless.

          Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

          And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.
