    Have you looked at the Unhooked extension. You can choose to hide recommended videos, which was a game changer for me.

      Disabling my watch history did the trick lol

      YouTube’s recommendations are such absolute trash if you turn that off (I’m assuming intentionally, to get you to enable it).

        Yeah, I love that feature! Disabling watch history makes using Youtube so much more pleasant imo:

        • recommendations are related to the video I just watched
        • my home page isn’t filled with shorts and whatnot (I only see them when I search)

        So thanks Google for letting me opt out of your BS.
