I can confirm.

I have very specific interests on YouTube (old cars, etc) that wouldn’t normally appear in the clickbait bucket aka homepage.

When I opened YouTube on my friend’s computer connected to my WiFi (absolutely no way she’d get my YouTube cookies, and if anything she should have her own cookies) the front page had some of the stuff that I watch instead of the usual clickbait.

Now I don’t watch anything that could be compromising but I can see this being an issue if someone is watching “sensitive” subjects and anyone can find out by just requesting the homepage from their IP.
