Do you use Android? Stop paying for premium, just install ReVanced and "fix" the official YouTube apk. It also works with YouTube Music.

No, unfortunately I switched to an iPhone to limit Google’s tracking endeavors. I love Android, but Google has ruined it with constant tracking in my eyes.

I agree with you, but if you still use Google services, including YouTube, you'll still be tracked.
