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.

Let’s say you like to watch two things on YouTube. Long documentary style videos, and short little gag videos. You don’t watch the documentary style videos on your phone because you aren’t going to sit there with your phone in hand for that long.
YouTube has recognized that you only watch certain things on certain devices, and adjusted the recommendation algorithm accordingly. It will offer you stuff that you are likely to watch right now on whatever you’re using. The goal is to make you watch another video, and another, and another. That doesn’t work if it gives bad recommendations.
