I wish there was a feature like this on YouTube. I'd love a profile for watching educational videos, a profile for feeding me cool videos when I'm high, and a profile for when my kids want to watch stuff. I'm tired of vibing and listening to music videos only to get hit with a language learning podcast or Disney songs.

It's insane that they have an incognito mode that still serves up ads even though I have premium.

You can create different accounts under different email addresses.

Once you're logged in, you can switch between accounts from the dropdown menu.

I've done this in the past to separate French YouTube recs from English ones.

I did this as well but the other accounts get ads because the premium only applies to my first account. Terrible user experience and Google go hand in hand

In my anecdotal experience on my tv, the algorithm bleeds through accounts as well. Like a video that is more related to the content on one account is recommended on the other.
