For bonds, should I yield to maturity without making the assumption of reinvesting coupon payout?

I found out that bonds YTM has the assumption that you will reinvest the coupon amount with a similar return rate. However, I find that this is quite an assumption and would like to ask is it better if we gauge the YTM without assuming the reinvestment component?

It will have to depend on the type of bond you are investing in. If you invested in a bond that re-invests the coupons instead of paying it out, you can just follow the YTM.
