Regarding your example with youtube, how do you know that youtube doesn't just recognise you and serve you your "personal profile"?
Did you completely change your IP address?
Did you spoof/hide any other aspects of your browser configuration?
Private browsing or not, you would probably easily be recognisable based on IP + browser fingerprint alone so youtube could just continue to serve you the same videos.
- someperson 6y agoPick a topic that you've never searched for. Eg, "Paris tour", "strawberry farming", and watch a video for 10+ seconds. Then go back to the homepage. It has completely updated based on what YouTube has learned about your interests based on your search and view history. It works even without searching (eg, click through on a link on the default homepage).
