You've probably got malware on your machine, which is using your browser and account for Youtube view boosting. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/a9y59

  Some posts in that thread suggest[1] an application called Gramblr could be responsible for it - an application used to upload content to Instagram.

  Every time I mention this, I get downvoted, and I get the usual suggestions. It seems no one can accept that Google can indeed have bugs in their software. I do not have malware. I have three devices logged in: a Mac, an iPhone and an iPad. All under my control, managed carefully. I tried logging all of them out, removing through google's online panel, resetting my password, and lots of other things. I reported this to the YouTube team (silence). The usage patterns of the "other" history are that of a real child: I'm guessing it's a child between 2 and 4 years old. The usage is limited, so it isn't likely to be an automated pattern. Various videos, not from a single author. I think I'll stop posting about this, because clearly people do not like to hear about Google having a problem and mixing up people's data. And honestly, I'm tired of explaining…
