New AndroidTV setup - New google account or use my Personal account?

by razorant

I'm planning to get an Nvidia Shield this week. My main uses will be streaming through Plex, YouTube and Prime Video, but I like that I will have some other options.

My question is should I use my main google account for setting up a family room TV or should I make a new account for the device? I was thinking it might be nicest to not have the family youtube plays and activity connected to my personal account and vice versa.

How do you handle this?

I have my personal because I did it years ago. If I were to do it now, I'd make a new account. My YouTube recommends toy opening videos, Slayer songs and haunted house crap. And then when my kids binge I don't even get my 1 suggestion :(

If you are concerned about privacy you can use extra account. YouTube Recommendation, speech and voice search etc.

You can also make unlisted Youtube playlist and share it with Tv account this way, you can add videos to your main account and it will also be available on your Tv.

Every family member plugs in their own Android TV box and unplugs when done.
