> you argued that my data wasn't worth anything
If you block all their ads. They get your data since they intend to display ads to you. I said that in the first post, did you miss that?

Since you pay them you have an account and is logged in. They do use the data they have collected about you to serve you targeted videos even if they don't serve you targeted ads, they say that in their privacy policy document. Targeted videos are for your convenience.
If you don't want it to target videos to you you can disable all that data collection here, at least I can (Not sure if you can outside of EU):
https://myaccount.google.com/yourdata/youtube
So go and disable all that if you feel their video targeting isn't worth collecting your data, but there is no way for them to target videos without having any data about you.
Their tracking is all encompassing and invasive, even without a Google account. They are a menace to the world and it should be an obligation to block their ads. If Google disappeared tomorrow the world would be better off.
Though I don't just hate Google but really all big tech. I even work in it but my salary doesn't buy my loyalty, just my time. Loyalty requires respect.
