minus-squaresugar_in_your_tealinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoYeah, 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.
