I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don’t currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service.

I’m just disappointed to see this clause after they complained about the YT algorithm which is a direct result of introducing ads

Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of the Services and our Website may not work properly.

Advertising Choices. You can limit the use of your information for interest-based advertising by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings, using browser plug-ins/extensions, and/or using your mobile device settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with our mobile device. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from companies participating in the following industry opt-out programs by visiting the linked websites: the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info). Users of our Mobile Application may opt out of receiving targeted advertising in through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile app, available here, and selecting the user’s choices. Some of the companies we work with may offer their own opt-out mechanisms.
Many of the opt-out preferences described in this section must be set on each device and/or browser for which you want them to apply. Please note that some of the advertising companies we work with may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive interest-based advertisements from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.

Seems worse than I thought. I’m guessing it’s asking them + blocking stuff through the browser. But don’t know what’s shared internally.
Rossman just released a video about a new way of watching videos so maybe that’ll save us (probably not)? Still haven’t watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DePDzfyWkw
Why? Money.
It’s just the audacity to make even more instead of pricing it with sustainability in mind
