I'm 100% feeling YouTube's throttling. It has already led me to watch fewer videos.

Use Ublock Origin and you'll be fine.
There are solutions for all of these issues. You can use alternative frontends like Invidious or Piped, dedicated desktop apps like FreeTube or NewPipe and Libretube on Android to access YouTube without ads or tracking. You can also use throwaway email addresses to access websites that demand your email and there are privacy frontends for most social media sites (e.g. Libreddit for the site that shouldn't be named, Nitter for the other site that shouldn't be named, Proxitok for Tiktok, Proxigram for Instagram, etc.)
oh, i'm totally over it. it's so liberating to not care about their shitty little digital hell they've created. this and discord are literally the only places I interact with people on the internet.
Yarrrrrrrrr brother.
Or just start paying for content to people / orgs deserving of it
