I don't have premium and it's sticky for me but only on a single computer, I have to reset it if I switch computers or browsers. Same with dark mode. So maybe it's stored as a cookie and they wipe their cookies?

Yes, it's stored client-side in a cookie.

Surely you don't expect YouTube, a company that doesn't store any data at all actually, to be able to store a single boolean value somewhere in your account, do you? This would be impossible for a company as broke and small as YouTube.

YouTube is a small and scrapy startup. Sometimes they have to move fast and break things

On the bright side, you could probably write something to just always reset that cookie before loading the site.
