YouTube will no longer show recommendations if you disable watch history.

This both makes the connection clearer that the recommendations are based on what you’ve previously watched and not some “nefarious algorithm” and continues big tech’s march to please the EU’s anti-algorithm demands.

@carnage4life my biggest problem with YouTube’s recommendations is that it appears to recommend only based on the last few videos you watched. It has a massive recency bias.
