It’s not YouTube that’s the problem. I’ve got the same Gmail account since 2004, and don’t want to loose my Google photos. I’m getting the stuff together to self host them all, but am not there yet.

So I’ve been wondering this for a while. Is there a way for Google to associate my usage of Newpipe or similar to my actual Google account? I hate all the ads, but don’t want to lose all of my Google account stuff. I’ve got a lot invested in it.
