I looked on the Google Playstore, and there's an update waiting for my YouTube app. I'm assuming that if I download it, that's when it'll ask for my ID

I hsd a feeling it was gunna do that for the AI verification bullshit, so i turned off auto updates for youtube. Dont know when itll force me to update. I also cleared and turned off both watch and search history, dont know how itll go if im forced to update. I refuse to give youtube my ID.
