I totally understand where you are coming from, as I to pay for YT premium. However; when it comes to tracking, it is one of the few applications that I don't think works very well without it. Part of why I enjoy it most of the time is the interesting content the algorithm suggests, that I wouldn't otherwise be aware of.
I don't know the solution to that problem... Maybe the tracking stays within the YT world only, and isn't sold or used anywhere else?
I would like to know this too! That car is entirely in another league from everyone else!
