  • This may be a simple coincidence. Maybe you had similar YouTube suggestions in the past but you didn’t pay attention because they come at random times. Like if you drive a Honda Civic, you tend to spot all the Honda Civic in the street.

    There would be an interesting experiment to make though:

    1. Take a snapshot of your YouTube recommandations
    2. Choose a subject that has nothing to do with any of the recommandations, let’s say “travel to the Bahamas”
    3. Hold a conversation with someone with both your phone’s present, mention several time going to the Bahamas.
    4. Check YouTube again, si if the topic of Bahamas is appearing.
    5. Choose another topic not covered by your recommendations, let’s say collecting stamps
    6. Put your phones away, have a conversation about collecting stamps
    7. Check YouTube recommandations
