Sounds like you're not the only person using your devices, including network and router. And even if you are, if you live with others and not on a VPN you're very likely sharing an open IP with people of different tastes as well as gender. I get my spouse's YouTube recommendations all the time, even when not signed in and on a totally different machine, because to YouTube it's all coming from the same IP.

It's not a huge mystery.

ah, i am sharing the router and network. i hadn’t considered that, and i’ve wondered and wondered how such inaccurate info commanded so much money and uproar. thanks!
