"You can’t watch YouTube without a Google account"

you cant??? I reinstall my dekstop the other day, it let me view without login the problem is recommendation tab/service is empty because there is no history so it cant recommend something, hence you assume that you couldn't view videos

If you use VPN then you'll get a login screen instead of the video content.

This doesn't align with my experience.

I routinely watch YouTube in private, not signed in, and only open a video in a normal, signed in window if I want it preserved in my history.
