You know these videos are based on your browser history, right? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Nope, whenever you watch a video, at the end it will show u related other suggestion tiles.
also if i had to watch bangin and stuff, why would i search on youtube when there are sites dedicated and resourceful to the subject :P

He's actualy right some of the video recomendations are from the video you just watched and some of them based on your viewing history :)

But if you use Chrome, Google readily sells that info to advertisement companies. :)

more accurately they use cookies:
How ads follow you
Here's how it works: when you visit a site that wants to show you an ad later, they 'tag' your browser with a small text file called a cookie.
When you move on to a new site that has a space for personalised ads, even one not at all related to the original site, the page will recognise your tracking cookie and show you a 'relevant' ad.
If the site is lucky, the ad reminds you to return.
Maybe you decided those shoes were too expensive on Monday, for example, but you might buy them when you're feeling flush on Friday... if you see them again.
- so every time i visit Hosreporn.com a little cookie is saved so that personalised ads will show me horse shoe sales

It shows as related to things you've watched before, however the thumbnail might be nothing but a clickbait, I suppose it's a video about, uhm... wrist watches? Or "WFT moments"?

As mentioned already, it is likely a mix of your viewing history and content deemed similar to what you have watched:
I have talked to a few former youtube engineers and I have gotten the impression that youtube uses some kind of similarity metrics. Look up Jaccard Similarity and Cosine Similarity, and Lj distances. Typically youll have some kind of vector that represents all of the videos you have watched. And then we can compare this vector, using these various similarity metrics, to the vectors of other people to try to find a close match. If you are a close match, then videos that one person watches are likely relevant to the other person.

you deserve a cookie xD not the one that browser uses :P

To be fair, you can't really see anything when that thing is in the way.

I hate it when it does that. . .in fact, I hate all the bushes across the globe - getting in the way of things - goddamn it, it pisses me off so much.

Ok let's watch voodoo and see what I get :D
Edit: I got similar tiles although I didn't get that one you circled. I got instead some videos from people I follow (eg Hearthstone video)
Also Tilly Ramsay cooking apparently xD

Yeah, most of the video appeared is what i watch, such as ownagepranks , dota 2 moments, and some review channels, subscribed to em. I guess some of the tags are common between that specific video and indiegala one :P

Thats not indiegala, its youtube showing your preferences xD

Related to the content i watched, that is the video from IG :3
Comment has been collapsed.
related to the content you've watched throughout your entire browser history though too is what they mean. (possibly account history, unsure there)

My browser history doesn't contain anything related to that, its just that youtube is reminding me i should watch some banging sometimes .. how clever algorithm!

Youtube and Amazon recommendations can both be utterly batty, don't expect them to reliably relate to what you've recently browsed.
Hell, Amazon once started recommending me nothing but giant chinese kites. I mean, yes, I was intrigued, but it wasn't something that in any way matched my previous browsing history. Youtube seems to use a better algorithm, but it sometimes wonks out to an even sillier degree- and given that youtube bases off your entire youtube viewing history, it can come back with some rather thoroughly off-topic suggestions. Moreover, youtube seems to use a two degrees of separation system, so sometimes I've gotten recommendations that seemed tied to other recommendations I'd gotten in the past [but hadn't viewed].
If you watch enough fringe-interest clips on youtube [that youtube has trouble finding related clips for], it's likely you're getting recommendation pulls from the odder recesses of youtube.

Happens to me all the time... Btw, NFSW? Not a Fan of Star Wars?

NFSW = No Funny Safe Words.(in other words: stick to something like "teacup" instead of using "harder" or "more")

Not a Fan of Star Wars?
That can't really be a thing!
..oh, you mean of the second trilogy. Yeah, that's understandable.

Youtube prohibits explicit sexual content [unless they've changed policy and I didn't notice], so it's doubtful that was an actual video of that nature. However, cover images for videos don't have to match the videos, and aren't given the same level of oversight, and so are often intentionally explicit to drive traffic to the video.
Unless you actually clicked on the video and determined it to be legitimate [you only clicked it for science, right?], it's far more likely it was actually a video based off your preferences, but with a clickbait cover image.
That said, advertising services (including youtube) get advertisments pulled from various browsing history sources, including previously viewed advertisements. So it could in fact be matching to content derived from such sources- adblockers will typically prevent that sort of thing from happening, but if you're not using one, that may be the source of your issues.
Either way, as much as I disdain ScamGala, that's not something they have control over- in fact, that's not even a proper advertising arrangement [eg, like Google Ads] where the site made the decision to include the advertising framework (and may have even some control over the recommendations it makes)- rather, that's just recommendations under the responsibility of youtube alone. So if you've an issue, Google is the one you need to take it up with.

I believe it's a bug. Given the fact that the Voodoo video is indeed hosted on YT and those at the end are entirely YouTube videos, I find it highly unlikely for that particular video to be picked specifically from your internet history.
Unless of course you've been watching porn on YouTube, which by all means - share! who said that?

NFSW? Never forget sexy whales? No freaky stuff William? I'm so confused!

It has nothing to do with IndieGala / it is YouTube recommending you stuff.

Youtube suggests videos based on what you have watched, your history of video searches , subscriptions and recommendation based on other factors such as related videos and stuff. Other tiles contain my subscribed channels,relative vids i watch on youtube and search patterns.
Read sooths comment. =))

wow! I was able to track my history since 2012. I searched and watched a lot of dumb crap.... and I still do..
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt it. They are nowhere relevant to my browsing history , now i know they are just random recommendations
Comment has been collapsed.
Not quite random. Youtube/google never shares their recommendation algorithm, and changes it on a regular basis, but it is something that according to youtube's algorithm you "should" be interested in. But it might simply be due to some tags the video has, or a video that people who have watched videos with similar tags as videos you've watched have watched.

So i was watching indiegala voodoo kickstarter trailer and as soon as the video ended, next thing you know these video tiles appeared. Dafuq indiegala?!!
