Switch your TV off now, there's nothing to regret!
Nothing to regret, but for cutting yourself off from a source of
information.
*All* sources of information are tainted, with whats coming from the
internet doubly so. After all, everyone-and-his-mom can post their POV (whatever it is) there. Its a good thing, but at the same time its
drawback.
Avoiding politics ? Sure, if you want their stuff to hit you as a ton of bricks when something they come up with is executed, and its *way* to late
to protest.
Suggestion: Seek *more* sources of information instead of less.

Lol. Are you paying for YouTube ? If not, than *you are their product*,
not their customer.
As for your TV spying on you ? Yes, possible. But only *if you allow it
to do so*. IOW, *your* choice.
America, "the land of freedom" where every company can use EULAs to rob you
of any freedom you think you might have. Luckily I'm living in Europe,
where things work a bit differently. :-)
