They could, you know, show you new videos of the channels that you’ve subscribed to. That’s not based on your watch history and also something that you have subscribed to because you like the content. But of course that wouldn’t generate the same amount of ad revenue, so now you can choose between letting YouTube decide for you, or nothing, in an attempt to let you enable your watch history again.
For anyone seeing this and wondering, there is a way to get around it
temporarily turn on watch history watch one vid, can be literally anything, blank etc turn it back off go to https://myactivity.google.com/ turn off history from there do not delete the video from history or it will go back
This is not my method, i had seen it somewhere else, but i dont remember where
Doesn’t work sadly
Did for me when i did it on pc
But it shows up on mobile now too so
Fine with me. I go on there to find specific videos and have no interest in clicking a recommended video.
