I just read the comments. I've not watched the vid yet. Any domain that's loaded that's not explicitly needed for the function of the site is an opportunity for harvesting user data.
I mean, just run ad blockers, tracker blockers and see what they're blocking on sites you visit.
Same as NetGuard on Android.

Surveillance capitalism doing its thing. Whatever capitalism does the "whatever" relentlessly and without restraint until there's no more profit to be squeezed. Doesn't need a conspiracy - shared common interest works doubly for greedy bastards. But the Toober is adding made up things he thinks might happen, some of which are just technically wrong.

That dude is rightly called out in the comments for the sponsorship conflict of interest - something he makes worse with the blatant and hamfisted placement of of the sponsor in his video - but it's also quite dishonest. He's slapped together a bunch of semi-related and long-known things (like the unpaid training of AI systems) and used them to argue for something larger that he doesn't even try to prove, while selectively quoting from documents and inserting carefully snipped videos to try and make it look as if other people are agreeing with him when they were actually having a different conversation. Find more honest sources. I mean, Google are evil but how about offering some actual technical information and not just "Wooooah, spooky, watch this graph measring something go up!".
