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.

        It's a big miss for me most times - because I watched a video critical of a far right wing nut job DOES NOT mean I want to see videos from prageru (not an actual university) or toiletpaperusa.
I don't trust a big org's algorithm to not recommend what benefits then over what benefits me.
