Have two TVs going and noticed that watching the exact same channel, on the same provider, both TVs exactly synchronized as far as delay to blend sound.

Both TVs are showing different commercials.

Did you really just learn that commercials on streaming vary for everyone? Welcome to 2015

To go a step further, YT is using a cookie based algorithm to match their ad content to what either your login or user has listed as “safe”.

Local tv, even if it is a digital push, is off of the broad zip code-4 of your isp.

This is the same thing as looking at your recommendations on Amazon when you are logged in vs logged out for a product…
