Most reasonable consumers won't go for this. it's a greed play.
Give me mice that I own; not mice to rent.

Disgusting. Utterly disgusting. This idea belongs in the garbage bin.
No.
It is hard to have both; but not impossible. You can still be privacy friendly without sacrificing necessary functionality.
It will require that the "provider" of such a dataset constantly scrub, sanitize and remove data that would cause privacy hazards as quickly as reasonably possible however. That in and of itself is a technical challenge; though not impossible.
Ideally there's not a whole lot of data that needs to be kept.
Legitimately all that needs to be stored is a few things:
and things they MUST NOT STORE OR SHARE like:
Linux must achieve 100% compatibility. Otherwise the doubters will not shut up.

Looks like there's several causes.

I don't know how soon Tubular or NewPipe can fix their app; but it seems like a few simple changes will do.
I should point out that this isn't always "Google is trying to block adblockers" again!
Google can, will, and does simply change how the YouTube watch pages look, feel and operate behind the scenes quite regularly.
Thankfully we have people like those at the FreeTube, NewPipe and yt-dlp projects to sift through those changes and update the code to cope with the new output.
Freetube does work; it simply requires you switch to the Invidious API or have "Fallback to non-preferred API on Failure" enabled. (which honestly you always should have this setting ON).
Personally; I refuse to change my preferred API; so the "Fallback to non-preferred API on Failure" just works.
also yt-dlp does work but you need to upgrade to latest nightly/build.
yt-dlp version [email protected] from yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds [d2189d3d3]
YT-DLP fixed already; I use it locally in conjunction with MPC-HC.
yt-dlp -U
or yt-dlp -U nightly
Or download latest nightly.

At least for the turfing-bots; you have the option of a report. IDK so much about the stubborn humans.
In general; I strongly don't recommend anything on the Google Play Store except the Google Dialer.
If the Google Dialer is not to your liking; I strongly recommend only trying Dialers you will find on F-Droid.org
Firefox is open source. It's not going anywhere; even if Mozilla Co. goes broke and closes down the Mozilla Foundation.
