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.
