Youtube is/was disk killer for some reason. Used to listen a lot of music from it, but the constant heavy disk usage put me off. 16GB on Linux, zero swapping, Chrome browser. Switched to old school MP3 playing via Audacity and never looked back. You can see what is wearing your disk under process / activity manager. The M1 behaviour can it be Chrome + Youtube,Netflix,Spotify usage related? 2c
