YouTube was definitely doing something weird that doesn't seem likely connected to Facebook.
A couple hours ago after watching a video I went to my home page, which usually shows recommendations based on what I've recently watched plus a few videos labeled as sponsored that have nothing to do with any of my interests.
Instead everything on the home page was either a sponsored video, or a movie that was free to view with ads, or something from one of their music products.
I tried from an incognito window to see if it had something to do with being logged in. Normally going incognito loses the history-based recommendations but at least recommends user uploaded content. But now it has just like my logged in home page. No user content. Just ads and videos from Google's movie and music services.
Refreshing gave an error that said something went wrong. I then logged in on that page and again got something went wrong. Another refresh got a page with some user content. Another refresh was the ads and Google stuff page.
A little later it seemed to clear up and now my home page is back to normal.
