Companies do share data either directly or indirectly, so I don’t think your approach of spreading it out is as effective as you think it is. Still not the worst thing to do in addition to other measures though. Another thing is to use a unique email address for each site to make that one common data point no longer common.
YouTube will use data about your user of YouTube to try and personalize your recommendations/searches. Considering this is all within the website I don’t see how this is really that much of an issue. Granted this is Google so we know that data is being used elsewhere.
