When cookies are passed in, Youtube extractor downloads extra unrelated videos #24200

You must provide reproducible environment for any work on this. |

I have created a fresh Lubuntu 19.10 Virtual Machine that exhibits this issue and the Youtube 429 issue. With no cookies passed in, it causes the 429 and with the cookies from my everyday desktop running Windows 10(which I used to file this report), it exhibits the issue above with extra videos being downloaded. How would you prefer to access it? |

Description
I've been having issues with the Youtube 429 issues, so I passed in cookies to try and get around that. That did resolve the 429 issue, but I have a different error. The cookies were retrieved from the cookies.txt extension for Firefox. However, once the cookies are passed in, when youtube-dl is given a channel to download, it will find other videos in addition to the ones from the channel given. All of the extra videos are ones that I've watched, some very recently(in the past week) and some I've watched many months ago. They are the same videos every time regardless of which youtube channel I try to download. The channel I tried to download in the log above only has 4 videos, but youtube-dl finds 12.
