    I’m on premium and my videos load like shit too when forced to high resolution with the plugin.

    and before anyone says anything, I get family YouTube for $3 a month. switch your VPN to turkey, login in incognito, buy it. I had to go this route to keep even more shitty ads playing on my kids switch. my home is already layered with pihole adblocking and ublock on every computer. $3 is fine by me.

    I don’t care about “tracking”, you need to decide if that’s something you really even need to worry about. you need to set your expectations of what you are “protecting”. privacy is a very grey area, if you think the government is tracking or looking for you, you’ve got larger issues. for most people, blocking 99% of ads is perfectly acceptable. use disposable accounts if you want for other things. use bitwarden or another password manager and MFA. you’ll never be 100% “private” unless you buy a cabin in the woods and disappear.
