Seconded, the recommendations can help you discover new things, that you didn't even know existed.. that said, I can't stand having someone stalk and monetize your every move.
I quite like it precisely because it provided no recommendations. I'm not enticed to waste time watching something I wasn't interested in 3 seconds ago. If I want to watch something I have to look it up and that's usually the end of it.
Well, they can't. I have an anonymus account only for youtube that I access only over the VPN with adblockers.
They still know who you are. Your browser and settings will give you away.
