I read that. But the way the article is written suggests that the workaround they’re implying is to buy YouTube premium.
I am not per se against YT premium, after all its normal business to take money and serve a product, but what my biggest cons are
The price
I already use all of the mentioned premium features and more but for free
For example:
YT music -> ReVanced (background play, no ads)
YT App -> ReVanced (no ads, Sponsorblock, no shorts)
YT on browser -> Extensions (uBlock, Sponsorblock, block yt shorts)
If I were to pay for premium and use the regular app, I would lose that functionality and 130€ per year. This money would support a company whose business model involves extensive collection of personal data, which is then sold to third parties, effectively contributing to the global surveillance infrastructure.

I would rather not use YouTube than pay for it.
