>how common is it for them to access sites like youtube?
Depends on whether you know how to use a VPN and how good your English is.
If you only have the VPN part, chances are you're mostly using it for porn.
If your English is decent, but don't have a VPN, that means you are a mindless maggot who only learn for exams and will probably never know what youtube even is.
But overall not many people have both, so regular access to YouTube isn't common at all.

>how strict is the internet usage there?
It's not strict as long as you have a VPN. It is technically illegal but cops won't actually go through the hassle to hunt down everyone using it. Kind of a legal grey area. That said, there’s a military parade coming up in September, so they’ve been nuking a bunch of proxy services lately.
What really matters is whether you have said anything "disrespectful" about the "glorious" party and its "great" leaders. I was once brought to the police station for doing so. Thankfully I wasn't 18 at that time otherwise I would have been detained for about a week. That was horrible, but they won't execute you as some would think, it's not DPRK.
Though there is still one thing, most locally sold Android phones these days come with all the Google services ripped out by default, meaning you cannot use Play Store, Youtube and all those things unless you reflash the phone. Also there's this Harmony OS developed by Huawei that sucks ass and isn't compatible with literally anything yet still has a shit ton of people simping over it because it "breaks the US operating system monopoly." There's no chance you could access sites like youtube on those phones.
So I would say it's a soft kind of strict, because they’ve done a damn good job making sure the general public never finds out what a GFW is, let alone what's beyond it. But if you’ve got a brain and know what you’re doing, it’s really not that hard to get around.
