No 2FA? That's... an interesting security choice.

  for YouTube viewing? really? why would I go over the hassle to see cat videos? the worst that can happen is someone steal my like or generate fake ad revenue. not everyone have their life attached to a google account.

This is a blog post about possibly unauthorized access to a Google account, pointing out the lack of 2FA is perfectly valid given the context.

    This would be a valid point if not for the fact that Google forces you into using the same login across its sites in the same browser session. It's not really practical (without going to greater lengths than just using 2FA to begin with) to use a different/no login on youtube than the rest of the Googleverse.

    The blog post is just a wall of text about an unexpected login to a Google account. 2FA would have stopped that from happening. It doesn't matter what you use your Google account for. 2FA is a must. The end.
