But Google is going to use my data for advertising, with or without premium. An adblocker gives me the luxury of not seeing ads while keeping my data private.

I don't think any adblocker could realistically stop Google from tracking what you do on YouTube.

Flushing browsing data regularly should, except of course if you have to login to youtube.

Unfortunately, I do not trust this setting at all. They still have the data and they will hoard them, and use it for unknown purposes.
