"Am I prepared to get more of this recommended until the end of time?"
I ask myself this question every time I watch a youtube video. A lot of them I watch with private browsing to avoid it. Though lately it feels like I'm getting stuff recommended despite the private browsing measure.
- capableweb 5y ago> Though lately it feels like I'm getting stuff recommended despite the private browsing measure Absolutely, some of the recommendations seems to be recommended based on IP. I don't watch anime but I have friends that do, sometimes after they visit my place, I start getting ads for manga and anime for a few days, until they figure out I'm not actually interested in it. I also browse stuff via Firefox Focus on my phone, and get related content recommended on my desktop just minutes after watching something for the first time on the phone.
- climb_stealth 5y agoHmmm, that makes me wonder whether it would be better to have a second account to watch those videos with. Then the video view would be tied to an account rather than anonymous through the IP address. Basically in firefox do a "open in container tab" instead of "open link in private window".
