But... You've asked YT not to remember the previous videos, and it doesn't: LGTM.
There could be advanced implementations (like with the remembered passwords, where YT would store a list of seeded hashes of your viewed videos). But they are that: advanced implementations, that impose an extra cost.
- Bewelge 3y agoYea I guess you're right that in this case it probably boils down to extra cost. Though I still think "not remembering watch history" (and adjusting what you are shown based on that) to mean that a functionality that doesn't have anything to do with tracking (because it only requires information from your current session) to be a little lazy. You wouldn't expect a slide-show of images to be shown in random order, just because you didn't consent to the cookie banner. But in all fairness - I really like youtube's auto-play and suggestion algorithm when it comes to music. I use it for free and I haven't seen an ad in years so I don't want to complain :)
