But you don't need to have subscriptions and notifications to watch YouTube videos. I've never had an account, and I've been watching videos for years.

Agreed.
I am always amazed when I happen to use someone's phone or computer. They are "logged in" to everything.
No reason to make it easy for Youtube to track you, just to watch a video of a Cat playing the piano.

Exactly! My regular browsers are set to wipe everything each time I close them, and I only log in to an account when I need to access the account. I do use a separate browser for things I want to stay logged in on, like SN.

Now it's obvious you've never subscribed to any YouTube channel, neither have you gotten any notifications from one before.
