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.

@kwstannard @carnage4life Downvoting is still "engagement". You gotta click the three dots and select "don't show me content like this" or whatever the option is. Do that several times and YouTube should take the hint. Hopefully.
