Place this rule above your fast-track rule.
/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=forward protocol=tcp tls-host=*youtube*

That would work reliably maybe 10 years ago but for quite a while, google uses QUIC. Nowadays, youtube runs HTTP/3 built on top of QUIC, which means the TLS is inside of QUIC itself and TLS matcher will not work.
This rule will work only if the device never loaded youtube in the past. If your device started youtube at least once in the past, videos will work just fine.
