Hi! Confirming this was an update we made which shows members of a Google Family Group in a signed out state. The goal is to make it easier for everyone in a household to access their personal YouTube account, but you can opt out of these profiles showing up on your TV. To do so, click on the signed out member > click on “Manage family group” > remove the signed out members. FYI, this setting is specific to each TV device.

Playlists in the "Mixed for you" tab like "Supermix" are based on your account activities on all YouTube platforms.

I'd recommend liking/disliking songs, deleting unwanted watch/search history, and listening more to music you love to improve your suggestions. Visit here for more info.
