I already try to consciously not click YouTube links in my primary browser to avoid this. I load them in a backup browser with no privacy tools or, much more often, download them directly for local viewing. Fuck Google and their ads.
I don't click on YouTube links at all... Gimme something written, not shitty videos with a lot of filler for revenues.
So I would like someone to maybe try to confirm this, but I've been rightclicking and then opening in private browser if there is something I want to check out but don't want to dominate my feed.
However, I've been finding that I still am sometimes getting these things presented to me as if I care. I am beginning to suspect that YT is either a) tracking mouse coordinates and clicks, and using these or b) some kind of ip/ browser based finger printing that gets around private/ incognito browsing.
I'm on firefox, and running pop_os, so if any one else could weigh in anecdotally, I'm very interested.
