    Yes. It’s been this way for about a year now.

    Fucking sucks. I used to enjoy looking at YouTube while signed out so that I could see new content that my algorithm refuses to show me. Now I can’t.

      I can still watch videos logged out most of the time. That message only appears occasionally and when it does I use Celluloid or Freetube to watch the video.

      I wonder what sort of demographics are effected by this, because it’s the first I’ve heard of it and I semi-regularly browse while signed out.

        Yeah I’ll frequently pop a private window when watching something I don’t want mucking with my recommendations and I’ve only ever been prompted to sign in for age verification
