        Have you heard of browser fingerprinting? Cover Your Tracks[^]

        The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

          Will the cookies survive if I completely delete the browser history? I hope not :confused:

              There are many different browsers. I would look for an option that explicitly mentions cookies. History typically is different from cookies.

                  Yes - cookies have nothing to do with history, AFAIK.

                      It's because they care about you. You're their valued user and friend. They want to help you. You are not a number, 0x01AA, you are... oh, wait... Well, that's screwed that theory up.

                        Somewhere in browser settings :) On more serious note install plugin that deletes cookies automatically.

                          YT may or may not use fingerprinting for Google's nefarious purposes, but YT defiantly won't serve you curated content based on it. It's enough to clean your cookies, to avoid curation.

                            You are in a matrix and cannot delete anything. It knows everything. Or, stop watching such creepy videos. Otherwise why would you care? ;P

                                There's your problem. You didn't delete your Google account. Youtube is owned by Google (Alphabet).

                                      They don't know what's actually being uploaded. They are just a host. Just kidding, google knows and sees everything.
