MK14, I wonder if cookies set on the browser you accessed Youtube were simply re-used by Odysee.
When I am doing these types of activities I use browser separation - i.e., Google products go their own sandbox (Google Chrome browser). Most of my other activities go on Firefox (including Odysee), with a few irrelevant activities on Chromium ungoogled.
It is not a straightforward thing and some self-control is always required - i.e., never run a Youtube video or use Google search on Firefox, for example.

That's a very good point!
You could well be right. That is a very good idea!
There are also, alternative search engines, such as duckduckgo, which at least claim to be relatively private.
The big complication, is sometimes the communications (cookies etc), help me. As I'm offered (when not busy), a range of potentially interesting videos.
But at other times, when busy, where I ONLY want the specific video and very closely related videos, to solve a particular problem. E.g. Difficulties with an OS.
Ironically (when I have the time available), the video selections, can offer some very interesting videos, which I didn't know existed.

Indeed it is, but I can't be credited for it. This guy Rob Braxman gave me this tip.

Indeed they have a bit less tracking mechanisms, but they are unfortunately not 100% private. My main search is duckduckgo, followed by startpage and then google search. Here's another video from the same guy that talks about the levels of privacy of several popular search engines.

Indeed. I use suggestions all the time since I don't subscribe to every channel.

Thanks!
I've enjoyed watching both videos, and learned a lot from them. They seem to have useful information, to improve my privacy on the internet, in the future. It is interesting food for thought.
It is especially interesting to know (from the videos), why even those 'better/safer' search options, still involve ad-information transfers etc (trackers).
It seems (as the video(s) discussed). Easy of use/life choices and absolute privacy, are a fine balancing act, so practical/sensible life choices/balances, may need to be reached.
