unless you're actively posting and commenting and interacting on youtube, you aren't though.
some of us just watch videos. I never had an account either until I was forced to get one due to them blocking so many vids from being viewed without signing in.
just like i sometimes read twitter comments, but i don't have a twitter account and i don't interact it, they just sometimes come up as links in stories i'm reading. same with tiktok or IG videos/images. I see it mostly through other websites that are using them as sources.
that's very different than most people who are using it to as a means of socialization. I don't even regard reddit/lemmy or internet comments as socialization. some people do. i have never have a 'reddit friend' even though I used teh site for over a decade. to me it was just shit on the internet that was fun to comment about.
