It’s not even about the money, it’s literally about the credit card information, and the massive amount of data linked to it.

I would pay for a lot more things if I could do it anonymously

Do they not already know who you are and what you purchase anyway? I'm wondering how much of a difference it makes.

Whether they do or not, Google doesn’t know that that person is the same person as the one who is using YouTube.

They do already. That's info you can just buy.

As I just said, whether they already do or not is beside the point.
