Mastodon creator Eugen on the #Griftonomics podcast talking about Mastodon. Thanks!
The audio attached has 0 adverts + 0 tracking. The video to this doesn't but anyway is just a static logo with small audio bars moving up and down a bit.
Audio saves the planet and your privacy + native playback on Mastodon for important Eugen/Mastodon-related media!
For video, if you really need, then visit these better links below that filter the video ads and tracking (to 0). It works with any YouTube video not just this podcast:

MY ADDED COMMENT:
--------------------------
Mastodon needs to sort this linking to Google out - It's fundamental and very similar to the existence of Mastodon in the first place it seems. So we could avoid pushing links to Google YouTube and at least offer alternatives for our people (PRIVACY BY DEFAULT) and then use originally pasted youtube links as the fallback (we re-route links by default and offer original as backup).
Mastodon and privacy as the the default everywhere if not just for the 100000000's links every day!
You have the stats admin - how many links are click-thrus to Google? And is it our responsibility? ❓
