invidious (youtube frontend) recommends me videos ive watched before (not popular channels) on the very first page (so its not behavior fingerprint) on every device i use even if im not logged in and no matter what os i use “privacy friendly” or not. i try these os like tails or qubes with whonix and i dont see any improvements. its pretty sad that it works for everyone else.

(invidious recommending things isnt the problem its that google can idenify me and connect everything ive done across all my sessions devices and ips it makes me sad (( i feel like i have no connivence or privacy)

tried it with the maximum protection settings. thank you for the suggestion though. i think im just cursed with tech lol

maybe im just cursed

idk bro i was watching a generic roblox brainrot video (trying to test if google thinks its me) and got recommneded chess vids from a speific channel i faked an interest in months ago. if i cover the recommendations it wont be private or convient since i use them to check if google tracking works and i like having new vids to watch without having to look for them but i dont want companies to connect everything i do together (

im not logged in anymore (havent been for months and changed the os too with no files from previous os and havent logged in ever since) and im blocking ads right now

no markiplier?

privacy isnt all or nothing. im just trying to be safer since theres no safest. you got to understand wat you want and what youre willing to give up

honesty is cool 👍

idk i get recommended them only after i actually watch them. ive never got recommended markiplier until i started watching hids videos

thanks for the reassurance ik im more private than your average joe but it is really sad when i get a thing that promises ill be safer from google but i go back to google and they still know its me. have a good night/day friend )

instance you mean? nadeko or nerdvpn (with nerdvpn go to settings and make the homepage “popular”)

thanks for the advice man :)

idk how to clean metadata reliably yet but heres what i see: Vox, Markiplier, someordanairygamers, penguinz0, firship, thehatedone, mentaloutlaw

do these show up for you?

can you spoof it

im using invidious and no matter what i try i get recommended videos i watched before on there

peopl say its because invidious recoommends stuff people who watch on invidious like but im really skecptical

could you go there and tell me every channel you see recommended to you? (use nadeko)

i dont watch videos on youtube on linux anymore i watch youtube through invidious on tor. i clear my idenity. I go to a different device, ios, normal guy safari, go to invidious, the videos are there too. if google can do it through invidious its realistick to assume it can through any website. thanks for the resources though )

i already use duckduckgo and linux

thanks for the advice though friend )))

i dont mind temporary profiles. it has a permenate profile that i cant get away from ( i want google (and other services) to think im a different person when i change my idenity in tor which is what i thought would happen

is it on pc and or mac?

could u spoof (give fake data) what browser you use?

thanks for the honesty i could just go blind and deaf thatll do it
