videos offered as duckduckgo results. i'm not in private browsing mode. ad blocking is set to strict. youtube seems to say they'll track me whether i "watch here" or "watch on youtube." now that they've made it an issue, i'd rather be more private.

Its likely due to having your privacy set to strict, and I don't think there's really a work around as its a youtube/google decision to block watching with such restrictions in place
