It relates to the recipient. He alone has the private key. And it will show up on the blockchain again as a possible sender if he ever decides to send the money to someone. This is not deceptive; it is the truth about monero's transparent blockchain.

bullshit. and so disingenuous.
so lets get this straight
you're claiming there's some determalistic (or even some general probabilist method) that undermines monero privacy?
Like, the adversity has 1/16th of a chance of correctly guessing the social graph over 1 transaction.
1/256th over 2tx hops
1/4096th over 3 etc
and *even if you have additional information to identify the movement of an output in a tx, its broken over any previous/successive hops because a NEW doffie-helman exchange is made.
so what's your fucking problem?

I'm not claiming that. But I think that's what this privacy expert claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s3EbSKDA3o

My problem is that monero people claim it is private while permanently publishing massive amounts of info about each of their transactions -- something lightning fixes, even though a few monero influencers like to ignore that.
+Factually Completed based on the link provided.
Thank You
The reason lightning fixes it is because it bypasses the blockchain, defating the purpose of a cryptocurrency's security in the first place. Also, this video doesn't even seem to mention Monero (checking the transcript) and this video is 6 years old. Monero has changed a huge amount in 6 years
And by "fix", I mean it just holds the transactions privately until the channel is closed (so the funds are actually moved). Before that you are just moving a bunch of IOUs around
