Thanks for this thorough rundown of YouTube's enshittification and egregious practices. Admittedly, YouTube is the one google thing that I haven't been able to fully abandon and I hate it.
have you tried invidious.io website or freetube linux app? they are really good would recommend if you want to carry on viewing youtube but with full control
I do use a Invidious and Newpipe for most of my Youtube viewing, but afaik they don't support livestreaming, so I have to go on Youtube for that.
