I’ve had my YT history off for years, today I was prompted to check the setting. I kept it off, now my Home feed is just a prompt to turn it on. I actually like it.

    I recently disabled history after getting annoyed about getting bombarded with recommended videos for something I only needed to watch once (e.g. a recipe, or instructions on how to repair something).

    Now my YT homepage is literally stuck with the same videos, even the ones I’ve already watched. Doesn’t matter how many times I refresh.

    YouTube recommendation algorithm is extremely rudimentary, it’s shocking. I really wished that they gave us the ability to tune the recommendation model, or some sort of include exclude filtering.

      You want to tune the recommendation model yourself?! Youtube knows better than you what you should watch, just shut up and keep clicking the ads!
