The more free space you have the better you are. Make sure you regularly delete Temp files and other stuff you don’t use. Laptops come with so much bloat ware from new. 90% is useless.
So has deleting helped with the quality of YouTube channels is hard to say really. What I would say is some of the stuff you have got rid of may have been stifling the performance of your laptop in some way.
I am not aware of any enhancements YouTube have made to their platform.
Stopping windows update is fine. I only allow major updates on my system. They usually are done annually, but of late it has been bi annually. So just check win updates for major down loads.
Talking of storage I have just added a new Samsung Evo 970 500GB M.2 drive Talk about fast, oh boy. I will be migrating my c:/ over to the above. Once I have done that I shall remove the 2 Samsung 500gb HDD. That will leave me with 3 samsung SSD drives and 1 M.2 SSD at 500 gb So no issues with storage for me.
