You probably think you do that. But this is the same kind of take as people who say "advertising doesn't work on me"
You're probably not the exception to human psychology.
That's a statistically reasonable assessment, but I don't think it's true, at least for me. I've looked at lists of the top YouTubers, and I've watched pretty much none of their videos. The channels I subscribe to generally have between 500k and 2M subscribers, so they're somewhat popular, but far from the top. I've unsubscribed from channels because they started doing too much of the clickbait crap, their sponsor blocks got too long, etc. I have disabled the recommendation feed (by disabling watch history), and only watch content I've subscribed to outside the few times I specifically look something up, and my experience with YouTube got at better.
I don't know that what to tell you.
