Webhit - from Youtube?

Looking at my web-logs from yesterday I see a hit to my landing page from 136.22.133.6 which is:

136.22.133.0/24
AS36040
YouTube, LLC

User-agent was:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.45 Safari/537.36

There was no referrer. It pulled every file that I would expect from an organic (human) hit to render the landing page, but it went no further than that.

That AS has a several widely-dispersed CIDR's but only about 10k IP's in total.

So what's up with that? Anyone else ever see this?

the IP address will tell you something about the visitor but nothing about the referring page.
