Thanks for running that test. 
 a. When wasbit ran that test, it asked him to sign in;
 b. When you ran it, it didn't ask you to sign in;
 c. When I ran it, it first asked - then I tweaked - then it let me in.

I think that's the whole point of the OP's request about signing in.

Some of us don't need to sign in. Others do.
As for me, it will ask me to sign in but I tweak a few switches.

And then I can watch the "adult" YouTube war channel w/o signing in.
As with most Draconian yet sophomoric algorithms, YMMV.

That's what the OP was asking about, I think, in the first place.
We've pretty much proved that what happens depends on each of our setups.
