Are people logging in and volunteering their identity with every query?
Even if you’re not paranoid about tracking and retargeting, I find the experience is actually better when it knows less about the user.
Same is true of YouTube’s algorithm - you can get to a point with an account you can’t find anything. It’s the same dozen or so videos it seems like.
And then you log out and it’s a huge internet again
