I’ve literally never had to do that? And with uBlock Origin I don’t see ads at all.

I don’t understand how anyone used YouTube anymore. I’m not going to spend 5 minutes solving a captcha every time I want to watch a 2 minute video.

That means they’re tracking you

OK. I’d already assumed they are.

I pay for it, because I’ve always watched a lot of it and I got used to “YouTube Premium” when it was called “YouTube Red” and came free with “Google Music” (now called “YouTube Music”).

The experience on iOS using Safari+AdGuard+BakingSoda+Vinegar or simply the Orion browser is flawless. No ads, play videos with locked screen.

I’ve literally never seen a captcha on YouTube

That’s because you’re logged into an account. And they track and make money from you

It’s not about being logged out. Something about your browser configuration is messed up, or your ip address is blacklisted, giving you frequent captchas.
On a clean browser and IPV4 you get zero captchas without being logged in

No, something about your setup is messed up. Likely they can fingerprint and identity you.
If youe IP address were shared by many users and you had a properly configured browser to defeat fingerprinting, then they torture you with captchas to force you to login, so they can profit off of you

I use FreeTube frequently as well
