>> every time I open YouTube
Never seen anything like that, guessing Google has filtered content based on past views and tied it to browser cookies, device fingerprints, IP, etc.
This does not even have to be your viewing history, could be someone else on same IP and if you even click a video once it gets amplified and paired to the prior profile that produced that recommendation.
- iamacyborg 4y agoWhy even assume personalisation like this when it's more likely just demographic based personalisation?
- O__________O 4y agoNot assuming anything related to what triggered the personalization, put it for sure is personalization and key is to understand how to feed YouTube so it recommends content you want. For example, if a friend sends you a video that you’re going to watch because they’re your friend, but you’re not actually interested — do not view it in a way that’s easily tied to your name profile.
