    Just turn watch history off and find your own way. My YT homepage is blank. Fuck suggestion algorithms.

      Yep subscribing is the way to go.

      The algorithm is dumb. It will even recommend the same video you watched before if you let it…

        It will even recommend the same video you watched before

        That is why I started liking (or dis-liking) every single video I watch, if it has the thumbs up/down I certainly know I already watched it and move on…

        With that said I don’t know if I am tweaking or making my algorithm dumber lmao.

          Ive found using clients to watch helps. They are generally much more intelligent on the history side.

      Does no one use the Subscription page anymore? Are people even aware of its existence at this point?
