also if you watch 1 single video about a topic, the next day your feed will be full of that

I usually don't mind that. Sometimes I'm looking in to a new product or hobby and really do want to see a whole bunch of that content. They also provide you a feed which purely contains channels you subscribe to, though I find it much lower quality than the normal feed.

Turning search history off on youtube about a year ago has been one of my best personal "digital life upgrades" in a while.

  • I did that and now it shows only polarizing videos on the right from both ends.

    • Oh, mine shows no recommendations at all. Just a blank home screen.

      So I basically either watch my curated subscriptions or something I specifically searched for.
