A bit of both. I just quit watching things on YouTube. Years ago I made it a point to not be tracked, use a third party client, and never subscribe to anything unless it could be done anonymous and third party.

I do have a subscription to Nebula and have three channels that I like and I hope it helps them, but I really only use it on the TV. Which I watch sparingly.

In general though: I just wont watch things on youtube and I really am not missing anything, because I almost always have something better to do.
