Basically it views your Search History, Watch History and watching habits WITHOUT CONSENT
But All hope isn't lost. There are a bunch of rebels that developed privacy respecting tools and frontends!
Here are your choices
Web Browser - Invidious
A YouTube frontend alternative that is self-hosted
Android - Newpipe
An Lightweight Youtube client app that also doubles as a
PeerTube,Soundcloud and bandcamp client (this is my go to client for my
android phone!)[Make sure to enable unknown sources in setings]
Retro Hardware - yt2009
A really good self-hosted frontend that is fairly accurate to the 2009 layout
It even has old Mobile Layouts and is able to patch old YouTube
clients! i give this project my Retro Network Seal of Quality, its so
good!
