I searched "Fluke 87v power on options" on YouTube in an incognito page, and all I got were results around the multimeter.
Like literally, my screen only had pictures of multimeters.
For good measure I repeated the search in my main Youtube account. Same thing.

- yen223 3y agoMy front-page recommendations in incognito is a completely different set of videos from my front-page recommendations in my logged-in main account, except for one (a Veritasium video with 14 million views). So if YouTube is tracking me across incognito mode, then they aren't doing a very good job there.

I've heard of at least a dozen other people that this happens to so far across a wide range of viewing habits.
- dpkirchner 3y agoFunny, when I run that search in mobile Safari, disable my ad blocker, and then request desktop site to see if I can repro, I'm immediately redirected to one of the advertised sites (a scam/fraudulent site, naturally). Another oddity to toss on the pyre.
