Did you play minecraft on the same network? If so, I'm not sure why the results are surprising or why it would negate all your efforts. If someone else played minecraft on your network you would also see a minecraft video on your main page I would imagine.
That's worse. My family or housemates can infer what activity I've been up to online by watching their YouTube recommendations?
If your family or housemates wanted to know what you did online they could just flash DD-WRT onto the router and turn on logging.
You are talking about a network which is used by 10-100-1000 thousands of people. Yet, they knew when I started to play Minecraft. With this logic, I should see Minecraft videos all the time, but I didn't, for over a decade.
