or don’t use it, a very solid option. I have not been on youtube in years other than accidental click followed by close

While wasting too much time on Youtube is unwise, not using it ever is also unwise. From time to time you can find very valuable information on Youtube, which cannot be found elsewhere.

Not using regularly Youtube may be a good decision, but actively avoiding any interaction with it regardless of the circumstances is not a good decision.

Even if Youtube is not an Internet resource as important as Wikipedia or Archive.org, it still contains a lot of useful movies recorded and uploaded by random people, not by "influencers".

I do not disagree - however, for this kind of usage, if there is valuable information that is only on Youtube and nowhere else, waiting 60-90-120 seconds for some ad(s) to watch this valuable information is not a tall ask.
