At least for music, you get much, much better recommendations when viewing in incognito mode. Basically you get songs that other people who listens to this song also listened to, instead of the same songs youtube thinks you like, regardless of the song playing.
- LeftHandPath 5y agoI've started using YouTube while logged out in Brave. Every week or two I'll clear my cache / cookies / service worker / literally all of YouTube's local storage to be truly anonymous again. The recommendations I get (next to a playing video) immediately after doing that are fantastic. It's like a time machine that takes you back to when their recommendations algorithm focused on recommending videos that are highly relevant to what you're currently watching. When I hit an age gate and have to use it logged in, through firefox, the quality hit for the recommendations is immediately noticeable. I was surprised that the difference is so apparent, and I've been spending more time on YouTube again as a result.
