If you use Firefox multi-account containers and the Temporary Containers addon with YouTube (and stay logged out) so that it never gets a chance to learn your habits, then you'll get very mainstream (bland and totally uninteresting to me) stuff on the home page when you arrive, and after a video or two the recommendations will be almost entirely around whatever you are watching in that session.
- jnsaff2 6y agoNah, I searched for fridges on my ipad (with blockers on, nextdns) and a minute later my girlfriend started seeing fridge ads in facebook and instagram. And hasn't stopped seeing them. My guess is that it was purely IP based that time. That public IP and her FB account is now tainted forever.
