I've never watched his videos but I use YT without logging in and flush cookies on browser restart. With no viewer profile, YT heavily promotes his content on the front page.

After being annoyed by this (and a handful of persistent others) a few too many times, I ended up with the following ublock rules:

A lot of his videos are either competitions where contestants get a lot of money or comparing various levels of things ($1 boat vs $100M boat, etc.).

Every Saturday he releases a new video that quickly racks up 120M+ views, which is on par with the Super Bowl.
