Is there even a point of using a VPN on Google's Android? (Example: Watching Youtube on Firefox browser while logged-out)

Couldn't they somejow just correlate that info and know that its you watching the video. I feel like its futile...
I use another app to watch youtube, not their official app or official website.

Logs? Android apps can't access other android apps logs
*logs on the server of app creator.

I want to watch Youtube videos without Google knowing that it was me

VPN provides security in-transit between you and the VPN server. That's it. Either end can nullify that security by leaking data before or after it is encrypted.
The traffic between the VPN and the target site is anonymous because most VPN's use a rotating IP system. If the VPN truly doesn't collect any data, the target site has no clue who is actually visiting other than that randomized IP address.
The point is, VPN's do work and the biggest caveat is finding a VPN provider that you can trust.
I use Mullvad. You don't have to give them any personal information at all.
