I only use Youtube in incognito mode to avoid the Youtube algorithm and recently I think they have started to preserve suggestions between incognito sessions. Not in the way the algorithm usually works, but much more subtly. It's probably some minor region-based suggestion that triggers but who knows. In the future I think all algorithm driven content sites will use uniquely fingerprinted undeletable algorithmic suggestions. Companies are leaving money on the table by letting users reset the state on algorithms that increase content consumption.
