Their final reply:

I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don’t currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service. I also wanted to let you know that we don’t currently share user info with third parties for advertising, and as far as I can tell, we have no roadmapped plans for doing so in the future.

    Use PeerTube, or NewPipe. They’re free, open source, and NewPipe even allows you to watch YouTube videos.
