So... you will get answers?
No? I haven't seen any answers yet.
"Just use an ad-blocker" isn't an answer for why you can just not use Youtube. Neither is "They track personal information" or "I control my browsing experience". "Youtube Premium includes services I don't want." also doesn't answer the question.

But I don't think my explanation of Google's monopoly status is rare or uncommon and I'm surprised you've never run into someone saying it.
