Thanks for running that test where the ads aren't "my" issue, where my 
questions are mostly around the topic of this thread someone started.

If you're logged into YouTube already, that's a different test.
If you're NOT logged in, that's the test I'm asking folks to do.

The easiest way is to open an incognito window I guess.
 Mozilla: Ctrl+Shift+P
 Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+N
If you see your account icon, you're already signed in.
If you can subscribe or comment, you're already signed in.

YouTube should look like it's seeing you for the first time.
Otherwise the test isn't valid for the bot issue we're speaking about.
