Hmm, I see no difference...

I'm having to use Firefox until Microsoft fixes the security hack with IE, but I haven't cleared out that cache, so out of curiosity, I looked on IE, and again, I still see no difference. :confused:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHH!!!

YT keeps throwing Honey Boo Boo videos into my recommended, and I don't even watch that spoiled brat! All I've been watching are Muppets, Classic SST, Hogan's Heroes, and retromercials now how does ANY of that relate to that creepy little thing?!
I found out why. You'll always get something idiotic in your recommended folder because either you've watched a video that starts with an advertisement (I guess in your case, anything Henson posts), or you have a video ad banner on your YT homepage, and while it doesn't get included in your history, it somehow counts as a video you watched. I've experienced that. I've never watched "Google Chrome [what'shername]calls home" intentionally.

That, or someone puts something questionable in the video tags.

Is that what it is? Because I just got 5 Honey Boo Boo videos in my recommended as well. :rolleyes:

Thankfully I don't, but I got a bunch of crappy videos I'd never watched if you paid me because of those stupid ads. There's a way you can tell...

sometimes under the recommended video, you have a blurb underneath that says "because you watched..." I have so many that say "because you watched Google Chrome: Dear Sophie" when that was an advertisement I refuse to watch anyway.

I'll have to check because between Honey Boo Boo and Twilight I'm about ready to scream. ><

I actually haven't gotten "Because you watched..." in a looooong time, but like Pinky, I'd be very much curious to find out WHY I'm being bombard with Honey Poo Poo because of what I watched... though I'd doubt it'd be because of ads or commercials: I always close that humongously huge eyesore of an ad on the homepage every morning, and if I see a video is about to start with a commercial, then I'll skip it altogether and move on.

Doesn't matter. Happened to me on occasion. Apparently I watched a movie that's name was a line of numeric code, and it was a banner ad when I clicked on it to find out what it was. And the comments on the page were all "How did this get into my recommended?"
