      Some video suggestions let me suspect that this only disables me being able to see my history though.

          Well, this is the point of “removing” tailored suggestions on YT’s homepage.

            Idk why you would want less tailored suggestions for content. They’ll still suggest stuff, it just won’t be relevant to you. Shrug. I’m a big fan of YouTubers rec algorithm, especially for music.

              Dude, I recently turned on my History for the first time since 2019, watched five monetized videos (long-form film-related stuffs, turned off uBlock Origin), and YT just flooded me with nonsense local stuffs with their ridiculous “thumbnails” on homepage.

              I was like, “lulz nope dis is disgusting.”
