I miss the olden days when staying logged out of your account meant your recommendations weren't cluttered up by every post you read, video you watched or search you did across every device.

Any way to curb this?

i just use temporary containers on firefox so my cookies are always empty, i'm sure they still track me internally but youtube suggestions seem unaffected by my usage history
