If you know someone else will be using YouTube on that same device after you, you should always consider signing out of your account.

Say you’re out and about and don’t want to waste data. You could always check YouTube updates using a public computer if you’re near a library. If you forget to log out when you’re done, that could spell many problems if someone starts toying with your YouTube account.

Because your YouTube account is tied to your Google account, signing out of YouTube means signing out of your Google account. If you use Google Chrome and sign out of YouTube, you will also sign out of your Google account on the browser.
