I don’t care about recording my data, I am behind literally seven thousand shoe0nheads, but I always used an spare account to watch YT with and I really cared about it and I ‘furnished’ it and — get this, since I understand ML shit a bit, I read state-of-art papers on recommender systems not to design my own recommender system, but to train Youtube’s recommender system to my whim. And then I realized I’m being extremely special-needs and I nuked it all. And I turn it off-and-on as I go. Seriously have you ever met someone who’s obsessed with YT’s recommender system as a watcher? Damn!
I did this with my google maps history until I realized that google just marks it as deleted so I am the only one not having access to this data, but google still collects and uses it, it just doesn’t show it to me.
If you’re worried about google data collection, telling google to delete your data does next to nothing
Use freetube on pc and newpipe on android for a more privacy-focused alternative

No kidding. I had to call on brain cells I didn’t even know I had.

Are you using the latest version? Seems to be working fine for me
I can’t tell if youtubes algorithm is shit or it can’t work because I clear my history all the time.
