I suppose if you really can't stand to give them any information at all, don't want to pay and don't use ads your only choice is to not use the service

They provide a pretty good service all things considered and have to pay the bills for their servers somehow

If they were to be independently audited by multiple Privacy firms and/or open source their codebase I wouldnt be as concerned about giving them data and maybe even paying for something like YTPremium, but as it stands its a black box. I dont know what theyre doing, why should they get to know what I'm doing? Privacy should be a two way street imho. If the cost of privacy is that they wouldnt be able to maintain their infrastructure, I'd rather see their company fail.
