this is likely youtube's way of trying to persuade people into making an account, without going public that they are forcing people to make accounts.
I found it does that if im logged out on a VPN, but standard residential IP's it doesn't with.
I assume eventually it's going to just require a google account to use the service period
I only speak for myself but the day they require it, bye. I'll miss the creators that I follow but the ones I directly patron through other ways, I'll watch elsewhere. I get that servers cost money but Google isn't losing money, they just want more.
Realistically we didn't need it before YouTube existed and I should be fine without it, but I think it'll be tough, I don't have an aerial for FTA tv anymore, nor a tv in my bedroom and I don't really want to sign up for a subscription streaming service. Plus a decent chunk of my employers use YouTube as end point for the videos I edit so that could be a bit of a hit too. There's always reading I guess, that might be doubly necessary if I end up poorer and can't afford much else.
why would anyone ever sign up for subscription media

Well yes there's always the seven seas I guess. They were always a refuge for me before YouTube as well.
