Why are YouTube recommendations different across different devices?

176 views

I saw that somebody asked this question about 10 years ago, but in 2023 I’m noticing that the recommendations and search results I get on my phone tend to be very different than what I see on my computer.

Others nailed it with the observed viewing patterns being different across devices. On 2 separate desktops, I get the same recommendations.

What I would like to discuss is why YouTube Shorts thinks <report>, <block channel user> means I need more videos just like that. Fuck those Andrew Tate supporting garbage channels and the random porn adverts that keep showing up because they use a popular song for the audio.
