I am going to analyze and do a write up here of how a Youtube user chooses options on the Youtube website and mobile app with strategies of how to play in order to eliminate your ID from google's AI identification system.  

These are the important parameters of the game:

search text - a typed search using the "enter" key rather than a click on a search combo provided

search combos - limit yourself to combinatorics provided by the search by using the combos offered when you begin to type

mistyped search - create a statistical outlier search by using typos in your search text

suggested video combos - you are automatically given 12 combos to choose from.  notice which ones are "suggest for you" (6-8 typically) and which ones are not suggested for you (4-6).  This is an important part of the game.  

IP address - you must have an IP address to play, I play with the same IP address, but have noticed tracking and identification through tor.  A constant IP address is not required to be ID'd.  

Intro and beginning the game
First you go to the youtube website and enter the game through either  combo search,.  A valid ID on YouTube is a path dependent function that consists of 3-5 clicks.  This creates a new neural net in YouTube's AI.

Goal: The goal here is to exploit their tracking ability of you as a user by expanding the neural nets in the AI so that multiple people ID as yourself.  Enter your patterned ID and then enter the ID's of others. 

Now use the videos that are not "suggested for you" to create a path of information you typically do not use.  In other words, the AI adds a new path for you that is not strongly linked to yourself.  

Do this repeatedly.  I recommend 3 not "suggested for you" videos for every "suggested for you" video.  Pay close attention to the combos offered.  Do you watch these video often?  How many are "suggested for you."  Which are you predicted to watch next?  Are you manipulated to watch or not watch certain videos? Yes, you are manipulated to create a stronger ID by reinforcing the patterns of behavior used to ID you with Google's AI.  Remember, their tracking is not strictly statistics based, but pattern oriented.  

Using a random variable - I recommend this for a new uncontaminated device such as a "burner."  Start with a generic search with typo then bounce randomly through suggested combos of videos to prevent yourself from generating ID neural nets in their AI system.
