Not sure about the larger impacts of V3. But, we have gone with V3 since the beginning, and now there is a better turn around time for reviews, typically in an hour and sometimes 24hrs max. Its been a much smoother process rather than having to wait for couple of days or even weeks sometimes earlier. I've heard it being much worse on V2.
Asking the wider audience here, I have uBlock origin installed on my Chrome browser, while I surf mostly on the incognito mode. I know this is no where close to an optimum setup, hence asking. What setup do you folks use to prevent the best you could from being tracked?
Yes, it happens way too often to be a coincidence. I talk about different topics with friends, they end up on my Youtube feed, not sure how. But I use iphone and a mac though.
Google can reasonably infer people that live together based on billing addresses, location, etc. If your roommates pay particular attention to certain media (a video, a song, etc), it's more likely to show up on your recommended media.
In this post, chances are that Google classed each user as being socially close and based its recommendations on that. It's uncanny, but with how much Google data has, eavesdropping is unnecessary for this use case.
It really depends on what your current situation is. Sometimes a break or distancing solves the problem. Other times it simply is trying something else, job, language, hobby. Make changes until something clicks. It sounds cliche, each person has a different journey but journeys do have some common patterns. Not sure what your frustrations stem from but I could get in touch and talk more about this.
