YT has hidden tags that tie it to your account after viewing a video, removing the video from played/history does not affect this and has been an issue with YT for nearly 6-7 years at this point.
- throwaway2037 4y agoThis sounds interesting. I tried to Google about it, but I found nothing. How did you learn about this?
- brezelgoring 4y agoI don't know how you can reach it from within YT itself, but I know that if you do a datadump of your account, you can see it in one of the text files within. It, unsurprisingly, has a history of _lots_ of different things, you'll be shocked about how much Google knows about you. Probably things you yourself have forgotten.
- JohnFen 4y agoThat's why although I do subscribe to YouTube Premium (the only Google service I still use), I only use it from an account that is not used for anything else, on a single tablet that is not used for anything else, and pay with a card that is not used for anything else.
