You’re jumping to unwarranted conclusions. A more reasonable explanation is simply that the unpopular videos you watched triggered recommendations similar to them, and based only on them - and that being what you typically watch no your other computer, the result was familiar to you.
- Rjevski 8y agoI’ve thought about it but no, some of the recommended videos have zero link to the other ones, the only link is my “shadow profile” or whatever Google calls it. Tell me how a video about wasp pest control (had a wasp nest issue about a year ago, that was a fun experience) has anything to do with what I usually watch which is electronics (mainly EEVBlog), car repair, etc? The “other computer” doesn’t actually exist, it was a test in an AWS VM that was only used once to prove/disprove my theory, so no way for them to have associated that computer or IP to me in advance.
