I actively avoid watching YouTube videos linked from Reddit or similar sites just to avoid this phenomenon.

Opening almost all YT links in a private/incognito window does WONDERS.

I do this. it has pluses and minuses. the plus is I'm not tracked. the minus is YouTube can't recommend. Sure of course if it's a cat video then I dont want YouTube recommendations but I watch almost all videos in incognito mode to avoid tracking. I'm not sure which ones I want YouTube to know and which I don't.
Maybe I'd just prefer to get links from friends
