Facebook Gaming is growing faster than any other streaming site in the world. However, I think that Facebook is an inherently evil company that has a long history of abusing user privacy and data. This video is a personal philosophical commentary about how I don't stream on Facebook Gaming and why the site scares me. We will be covering everything from Cambridge Analytical, to Russian trolls, to fake news, to data collection, and finally to user privacy abuse. I do hope you enjoy the ton of Fortnite gameplay as well.

Mad respect, people like you are what society needs to move forward. Putting morals before money is one of the most mature and wise decisions you can make in my opinion. It's what prevents you from being sucked into the insane wealth acquisition treadmill that makes you a passenger of the ship that is your life.
I honestly love driftor for being that person who does this. You can tell, too, that he is genuine and not being "moral" for the sake of good reception and money.
Mad respect for being the person you are, Drift
Aaah. The summer vacation has begon, I got hot snacks in the oven. I open UA-cam, and what do I see? A 30+ minute video from my fav UA-camr, and it seems to be an interesting one.
Life is good
"Begon"
30 minutes later LIFE IS A SURVEILENCE HELL
Thank you for having morals, Brad!
The disturbing part is that JHub was just gabbing about wanting to join Facebook Gaming's partnership program earlier today.
Z.A.N.A.
I never knew his real was Brad either.
I got an ad on Facebook congratulating me for an acceptance to a college. I didn’t post my acceptance, nor did the acceptance email come to the same email as my Facebook email...
Brandon Lindsey proof or it didn't happen
You've already dug yourself into a hole. He can't post proof either way or hes going to give personal info to give proof.
Frog Holding Machine Gun considering college decisions came out in mid March, those ads ended
Probably heard you talk about it, somebody did a test, they said “I need cat food” with their phone off. Facebook showed ads for Purina like 10 minutes later.
I said out loud “damn I’m horny” and 5 minutes later Facebook showed me an ad for a prostitute. They’ve gone too far!
You didn't even really touch on how many companies facebooks owns or has influence in like even if facebook "dies" like myspace they still own the second biggest social media...instagram
Madden Gold Driftor is telling the american side if facebook, in Europe fb is still by far the biggest social medium :/
Kraknoix 007 Its still the biggest here. Maybe not the most relevant but still the largest with instagram at second.
Madden Gold oh oke just saying because here in belgium twitter is nonexistant and all the youth uses fb and instagram
Drift keeping his morals is my kind of youtuber, what a man!!!!!
Hey driftor, I’ve been following you for quite a bit, even though I’m not as into shooters as I used to be. The thing that’s kept me around is your really well thought out discussion videos like these, I love to listen to them in the background while I do something else, and that got me thinking,
have you ever considered doing a podcast? You’re a really well informed, genuine guy, and I think it would be interesting to hear more of your discussions and opinions.
Keep up the good work, driftor.
I am not even on Facebook, but Google has probaly more data from me that I am comfortable with
Knodsil They delete your data after a long period of time, they probably keep a portion of it but it's slightly better than facebook.
JollyOldCanuck ones its on the internet it stays on the interner. Forever. They probaly save that somewere, even if it never gets used again. I dont believe that they ever delete anything. And ofcourse we will never be 100% certain
control shift n for incognito
ACE112ACE112 Incognito does nothing except delete local search history and makes it seems more sus to ISPs as to what you’re doing...
Knodsil You can download "all" your data so you can see what they have on you. The most scary one for me was probably location history. They had information on where I was every single day the last couple of years. I have now made a new account where I have turned location history off and a lot of other options
Thanks drift0r, very cool!
I really want to start calling my money "Zucc Buccs" for now on.
I love these kinds of videos, long and very interesting.
And this is why you are my favorite UA-camr. There's not a whole lot of people in this UA-cam gaming realm with the backbone to make a decision based on their morals and stick to it, but you do it consistently. You've definitely earned my respect over the years man. Keep it up.
Great video Drift0r! Someone has to get this message out and I'm glad someone as intelligent as you could do such a wonderful job explaining! Deactivated my FB account long ago and not looking back. 👊🐻
You’re the only gaming UA-camr whose notifications I wait for these days. You do research to back up your claims and offer useful insight with a lot of these topics that would otherwise go over my head. I’ll watch your ads over and over. Keep it up!
This is probably one of my favorite UA-cam videos by you yet
This is why I've been subscribed to you for like ever. Someone who has the guts to state what they believe and not give in to money and greed. Love ya Drift0r.
Yay i love these types of videos!
same
Mrlolington 1st So you like being constantly reminded of the dark, sinister, life ruining and extremely observant company that watches you even in your sleep...?
ME TOO!!!
I think that black mirror hit the nail on the head with their episode about being able to create a lost one with their gathered data on Facebook when they were alive. It was very good at highlighting how scary it is that Facebook knows more about you than you do.
Hey Drift0r, I love the recent resurgence of your intellectual commentaries. They are personally the number one reason I’m subscribed and I find your commentary very engaging. I also feel like they make you less dependent on popular games. Your channel will less live or die with cod so to speak because their is always something to talk about. Anyway, keep it up, loved the video.
32 min driftor video, thanks made my night
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs because of your honesty, transparency, and your moral standing. Thank you for not selling out yourself and your audience. I know it must be tough to pass up on the Facebook offer
The single most consistent and informative content creator on youtube. Wish you had more recognition than you already do, but thanks for making these types of videos
Very interesting video, Drift0r. Facebook is a terrifying site. As an example, a few months ago I added 2 new friends to my phone’s contacts, and I swear both those guys eventually ended up in my “People You May Know” section. It’s super scary.
Will still be here watching the videos as they come out, and will keep listening to the old ones.
This is why you my favorite youtuber drift0r. You are honest and give fair opinion on hot button topics or bring light to new ones that we should be concerned about and put in so much time in to research to make sure you have a lot of information and facts to back yourself up, but you also admit to your own faults. I have so much respect for you man and I want to personally thank you for teaching me so much both within games that we both play and things going on in the world.
Thank you driftor for being the most ethical UA-camr out there. It is very difficult to find people like you these days
Watermelon camo on Bo3 today
I really respect you for making this video driftor. You always bring in controversial issues and never let go of your morals, which is something I can always appreciate. These types of videos are extremely enjoyable for me and I hope you continue to make them.
YES! Thank god for Drift0r speaking out on the things that need to be said
Drift0r, I love you. Just thought I’d say that cuz I usually don’t smile at things I see online or funny memes on Instagram but that part where you actually put on a tinfoil hat made me laugh and I appreciate that. Keep up the great morals!
Thank you
I took myself off Facebook about a year ago and boy have I never looked back. I dropped mostly due to unlimited spam postings, but hearing this and other negative appearances on the news regarding Facebook leaves me with no regrets what so ever.
Real quick, been watching your videos for a while, but you just became my favorite youtuber. Probably doesn't mean much to you, but your analysis is actually so concise it's hard not to use you as an academic source lol
Great video Drift! Been really liking these commentaries as of late. My only criticism would be that there were no linked sources in the description, so if you could link those in a comment, or something along those lines, that'd be great! This seems like an issue worth looking into, and I'd like to myself.
Shoutout to my mans Brad for making this video knowing that it could actually put a target on his back. Keep up the great work man!!
Man, I'm Brazilian and i liked all of your thoughts. I'm very scared of how the data can be easily manipulatated and how it can change our lifes. I hope the companies stop using it. Thanks for the great video, keep up the great work.
Sorry for any mistakes, my English is not that good.
It's so nice to see a big name explain so in detail how damaging Facebook is. Thank you. I want to make a correction as it was recently found that phone audio conversations do not happen at large. This was studied and researched pretty heavily to find the answer, but it's late and I'm missing the link.
I love these type of vids. Just a honest and raw version of drifty poo
"It may sound like we're going all tin foil hat crazy here, but I promise you we're not"
Proceeds to put a tin foil hat on😂😂
Thank you for telling us all about this. I’ll be sure to show this to some people my dude
Drift0r, I thank you very much for shining light on FB’s disturbing policies. Not enough people are talking about it but we all know we are being spied on every day. Not everyone knows it’s all day though. Great job using your platform for good.
Would enjoy a drift0r podcast, love it when you take more time to talk about things
I've been a loyal sub of yours for a quite a long time, dating back to your Black Ops 2 Weapon Guides. You have opened my eyes to many of things with your insightful videos and I find this one of of your best in this category. You are a very intelligent man and you are my all time favorite UA-camr. You have helped me through some of my darkest days. I personally stand by you on this decision. Brad I am looking forward to more long videos and if Mark Zucceberg tries to destroy you, you can count on me to stay loyal you.
You are a savage. For all the years I have been subbed to you, you only get better.
I'm a sociology major with a minor in advertising. Personally I see nothing inherently wrong with collecting information on people. In fact figuring out what makes a person is a big reason I am in that major, I love learning about it. What I do think the problem is lies with the transparency and widespread understamding on how this kind of advertising can affect the average person. If people knew the extent this information could be used to manipulate and they knew the how/what/where with their information it loses a lot of its power to be dangerous because anyone who abuses it can be held accountable. Ideally in the coming decades enough people like you and me will be able to spread the truth about information gathering. I dont think personal information gathering is inherently negative, but people need to know about it in order to ensure it isnt used in a harmful way. The only reason these campaigns have such an impact is because people are ignorant, arrogant, and complacent. Armed with information we have the power to keep corruption at bay.
You should be a professor; explaining complex issues with a certain type of clarity and sincerity
Driftor, I seriously admire and appreciate your strong dedication to moral behaviors and your " no harm" policy. Frankly, it is hard to find people who still are dedicated to morals like you,especially in the presence of serous monetary gains. Your word is something I value extremely and thank you for all the amazing content!
We love you Drift0r!
I’d much rather see you get rich than to miss out on it by not doing something that literally thousands of others are going to be doing
Everyone needs to hear this!!!
Thanks Drift0r!!!
Stay strong!!!
You explained this pretty well considering the depth.
Was very in depth...
The only streamer I watch on Facebook is Kross, and when he announced that he would be moving to Facebook I was like "Aw man come on. I get it though." My stance on everything is that I made a Facebook when I was a kid in high school and it's too late to do anything about it now. Even if I deleted my account completely, my data would still be theirs forever.
I'd like you to try to do more of these long informative videos on some kind of topic that is on your mind. I really enjoy these videos
Hey man u have made some Really intriguing points about the data collection and specifically what they do with the data but do u have any sources or concrete evidence to suggest that Facebook collect s data in the manner that u described such as accessing ur microphone,presiciting ur behavior...I mean coz that's a pretty big claim to make
Predicting*
Johann You have given Facebook access to your mic if you've ever livestreamed, or used talk to text.
Permissions on every app you install including fbook..to access microphone, phonebook, then couple that fact with the hearing zuckerberg for roasted on. Whilst not being under oath lol
Drift0r you are great at bringing some philosophical videos on your channel it really teach me how to be a better person than I was so keep up the good work
This is the video that every person on the planet needs to watch, despite giving more data to google. I have stopped using Facebook a while ago and after watching this video I am going to ask my mom to stop using it as well.
On a related note, I have been reducing my own exposure to Google's data collection. Can you say a little more on what you think of Google on that front? Maybe in a future video?
Asks parent: What do you want for your kids?
Answers: A better future for them!
(Burns fossil fuels)
Top tier thumbnails as usual. And very informative video. It's crazy that social media is a front for social control. Perhaps we should've seen this coming. There's definitely something wrong with any website that lets you sign up for 'Free'. There's always a reason
Wish more streamers cared about other things in the world, good on you drift. Trying to educate people even though they’re happy being click baited or scammed for free v bucks is truly gods work now days. Keep it up even though I’m sure it’s discouraging only reaching a small part of those who watch cause so many are a bit too far gone. Some of us are still smart enough to appreciate and learn from these vids.
„The new Facebook that doesnt sell informations“
Never laughed so hard!
I like this Channel👍
Right when i finished the video, I went to another channel and the first thing they said was, make an account on facebook so we can get to know each other while i stream using their platform
Hey Drift0r! Thanks so much for another amazing video on such an important issue. As always, your content is intelligent and well supported. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me watching your stuff. Keep up the great work!
Brad you should do a new rendering tutorial, such as your new settings on sony vegas!
You did a render tutorial back in 2013, it would be great to see a new one with you having a new elgato and better PC.
Your fortnite gameplay looks great!
Thanks for having morals Brad, much love man👏🏽❤️
I love how the video ends with you getting wrecked by a trap lmao
It's really Sad how Facebook and social media influence old and certain people, and they don't even know it,
More vids like this please! Everyone needs more unbiased and intelligent perspectives presented nowadays
Hey driftor, I am a big fan of your videos but I need to comment on some of the things you said about Facebook with regard to their business model. As someone who has invested in Facebook for years and provides analytical coverage on their earnings for my job, I can assure you that they have very valuable advertisements as their price per ad on average has been growing at over 30% for the past few years. Companies that use Facebook get a larger return on their investment than they do from almost any other advertising medium. So while you think they are “trash” ads, I’d argue that their earnings performance rebukes this. They are more profitable than amazon and wal mart combined and they do run a very legitimate business, even if it is morally dubious and irresponsible. They also own Instagram so they are not building a streaming platform to reach younger users, but rather diversify their ad load away from display ads and move towards video ads. They make over 80% of their revenue from advertisements. Not marketing data to politicians.
thank you for this, was on my mind the whole video.
I agree.
It really comes down to the language in the user agreements of what these companies do with personal information. While giving up your information so freely seems like a bad idea, its the trade off unfortunately to use their services.
You are the only guy on UA-cam is not about the money. Yes, money is important, but sometimes there is more than just the money
Huge respect to you
This is a very good video Brad! Didn’t drag at all and super informative
Reminds me when Misa purchased Light Yagami's information and said the world is a scary place
*Death Note*
That you so much for making this video and sharing your knowledge and perspective. I found this very important.
That's why I don't bother with social media except UA-cam
Kevin Hernandez Just saying, but the people that you get your internet from, are busy doing the exact same thing
One of the best minds on youtube, damn Drift0r!
Really insightful video. I’ve known of your content for years and would check your channel when ever the new COD would drop yearly... but this vid made me respect you more bro... made a subscriber out of me
I'm glad I listened until the end before commenting, because I wanted to know how you would react to Google doing the same thing as Facebook. It sounds a lot like cognative dissonance.
I would also say that if you use Facebook to promote streams and or UA-cam videos it's partly the same as streaming there.
Interesting thoughts, though, thanks for sharing.
Also, I don't think their offer stands Kappa
Great vid. Miss watching vidz like this from the old days
Had my tin foil on before I even clicked the video. I knew I would need it.
You are the one Drift0r. Do not stop
Thank you drifter, thank you for all the information, thank you for being such an ethical and logical voice and thank you for the great videos for so long. Please keep up the great work.
Drift0r, once again you impress me. Love the video, your mindset, and your moral compass.
And as regular people there is almost nothing we can do about this, which is extremely frustrating
You know is quite inspiring hearing someone who is fighting to challenge this terrifying reality! I agree with you entirely (did not even know the half of it before today (thanks !)) and also I agree with you that even if everyone abandons morals, at the very least you can set an example - I hope I can make the right choices, just like you have x
Nothing gets me going quite like a philosophical commentary
Love seeing the rhetoric-style videos return!
Google does the same, and almost all tech companies, and your ISP as well. If you want to stay out of data mining, ditch your ISP and smartphone. Also, you can use a linux computer ideally without internet, but if you want, you might get away using a VPN and no javascript in an open-source browser, and don't use mainstream websites.
SirExtreme15 don’t use the internet. Got it
It was illegal for your ISP to collect this of data until about 9 months ago :(
Basicly you need to give up the internet. And lets be honest, no person is going to do that.
Yes that why I edited the comment, unfortunately, the lawmakers were more interested in the lobbying power of ISPs.
SirExtreme15 I taught about it, and concluded I would need a second pc for browsing, as from my research many games don't seem to run on linux.
One of ur top 5 vids. I've been a fan for a few yrs now but I won't I was going off you a bit (reasons not important @ the mo) but I've always loved theses types of ur vids, well done mate.
Please make a podcast i love these vids. Very informative
There is enough material here for the social network trilogy let alone a sequel
Please just take one immoral offer, make the money you deserve, then return to being morally admirable Drift. I get the morals thing 100%, but damn it’s hard to watch these offers fly by you. Been here for years and wishing you success.
I think about it from multiple faces.... If you aren't more informed on information technology & algorithms, your goal should always be to skew the data & fight back by confusing algorithms, you have an obligation to fight psychological manipulation.... but if you actively participate in social media as if it's life & you let it influence you... You don't have the mental capacity.
Not as a goal to claim that "stupid people are going to be stupid" but more of the idea that "You should be educated on this and it's your goal to decide whats sensitive and what you want to share"
As for Stone Mountain I think he's got a very good approach, and one that I actually think we need some more from people, but you should realize, that YOU taking their money is NOT an endorsement of the platform... it's a business transaction that should follow certain rules and precautions that mean you should be an entertainer... and not a driving force to the platform itself
One of your best videos so far. Many people don't realize this mass manipulation that is rampant in todays society. Thank you for highlighting this in an entertaining and thought provoking way. You continue to be one of the best creators on this platform and you have earned my subscription since day 1.
We need more people like you on this planet
love these videos! btw, it seems like I am the only one that is completely sick of fortnite 😂
no sir fornnite can die in a fire ... i bloody hate anything to do with it
Genius Gaming definitely not. I cannot stand Fortnite. #PubgMasterRace
Non builders confirmed
Mike Pajic pubg and fortnite are horrible
Fortnite is fine. If u like no don’t play
Oh boy, seeing this video differently after today
Bad company ethics doesn't even scare me that much, but I've always felt the artificial intelligence one is scary. AIs are so good at what they're doing that they can also tear humanity apart in ways we cannot possibly understand. It doesn't even have to be some self-aware AI that "wills" it to happen. It could just be some kind of mistakes.
I had Facebook on an Android phone a few years ago, and I didn’t allow it to collect data on my phone and stuff, but it still collected data to target advertisements. Really shady stuff
Super educational and logically thought through info. Lots to think about here - thanks man
Really enjoyed this Gameplay Commentary!
Who else came back to this video after the rip mixer video?
