I already try to consciously not click YouTube links in my primary browser to avoid this. I load them in a backup browser with no privacy tools or, much more often, download them directly for local viewing. Fuck Google and their ads.
So I would like someone to maybe try to confirm this, but I've been rightclicking and then opening in private browser if there is something I want to check out but don't want to dominate my feed.
However, I've been finding that I still am sometimes getting these things presented to me as if I care. I am beginning to suspect that YT is either a) tracking mouse coordinates and clicks, and using these or b) some kind of ip/ browser based finger printing that gets around private/ incognito browsing.
I'm on firefox, and running pop_os, so if any one else could weigh in anecdotally, I'm very interested.
Private mode deletes cookies and browsing history on your device, it has no impact on the amount of information sent out to browsers and your ISP.
You can have my eyeballs on your ads when you out then from my cold, dead head.

fuck youtube. use a front end instead.
It's like saying "fuck coca cola, drink from a glass instead".
I will never pay for Youtube or accept ads. Yes, even if it would bankrupt them. I am more than willing to let it all burn.
Please drink a verification can to continue
Pretty sure there were patents where they record audio and camera to detect if the user is present to pause and resume ads
My kids and I always make loud farting noises until we can skip the ad.
