I understand how, when I browse Youtube, it offers me suggestions,based on my viewing.What I cannot fathom is why,when my wife browses Youtube,she also gets suggestions based on MY viewing.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers John B

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.
Re: Youtube Poser
I would say youtube just works on the isp address and doesn’t actually know who is in front of the screen.

You're right....I should get more exercise
Sadly I've become addicted to watching clips of people ranting at airline check-in desks & Gordon Ramsay telling restrauteurs that their food is crap!
Thanks for the link.It explains things. Yet another example of "Big Brother"

I suppose it depends who is logged into gmail/google/YouTube on that device as well

Re: Youtube Poser
Maybe you need to sign in to keep it under control. My son uses YouTube far more than me but I don't see any of his suggestions. Obviously, there are two sides to everything. I use YouTube to listen to music and it throws up suggestions that I would not even have a clue existed. I have seen some great videos of soul singers that were almost impossible to watch some years ago.

That's a thought Mark.I'm always signed-in but my missus isn't.I'll get her to sign-in to see if that works.At the end of the day it's not a problem; we were curious to find out why.markwilding wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 1:34 pm Maybe you need to sign in to keep it under control.

Re: Youtube Poser
It turns out that both my wife & I are signed-in so that isn't the cause.markwilding wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 1:34 pm Maybe you need to sign in to keep it under control. My son uses YouTube far more than me but I don't see any of his suggestions.

It's likely to be as explained in Enrique's link.
