Huh? Opening the front page of youtube in a private view (with no existing youtube history) shows you a completely blank page.
This must have changed at some point. It used to show popular videos in a private window.
You can still get a glimpse of what is out there by watching a specific video in a private window and looking at the recommendations.
The blank page where it asks you to enter a search? This is a recent change I think. I want to say the last year or 2.
