Why would someone who is concerned about their watch history have watch history enabled at all?
Others are suggesting practical reasons for having watch history enabled, but I would think that the vast majority have it enabled simply because that is the default.
In the same way that most people have a nose because they're born with it. It also happens to be useful.

I actually like that feature. It forces you to see the video as the author intended, kind of like watching live TV.
How do I put this politely... Fuck what the author intended[0]; use youtube-dl[1].
0: That was the polite version.

Some like me actually appreciate the youtube recomendations based on the previously watched content, but need to be extra careful when watching some kind of content that is likely to be weighted a lot by "power users". Example, I do not follow videogames, but I do enjoy watching speedruns of old games ocassionally, so I need to watch it on incognito mode so I won't have my recommendations flooded with videogame video…
Essentially with all that data, YouTube still hold a bad recommendation engine.

Firefox containers are also a great way to manage the yt recommend list. (Just choose a different container and open the link in that)

#47Quoting astrocat from the previous thread: PSA: Watch in an private/incognito tab/window. If you are currently logged into your google account, this WILL pollute your watched history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history
Turns out, even before you click on "OK" to start watching, it's doing it in the background - my watch history is now full of hours of this junk :(

#48Interesting idea, but the “Go” button is not appearing for me on Safari mobile.
It doesn't appear for me either on Firefox or Chrome. Maybe too much traffic?

#49Amazing concept. This was an incredible thing to uncover during my few minutes on the site:
It's a video of a woman reciting a poem that she wrote for her eldest son that speaks of her love for her son and her wish that he would get "off the streets". Emotional, honest, real. YouTube like I've never experienced. Brilliant.
