There is a new Reddit Youtube post out (they come out weekly):

@Glowacks: there are a number of methods mentioned in this thread; I think the simplest is just to use incognito/anonymous/private browsing. As @Whack-a-Moles says:

> I have found using Incognito (Private Window on Firefox) I don’t have to do that. I log in as me too so I get my recommendations and can comment and whatnot. So far, no fuss at all.
