Why YSK: There is a recent update in Youtube that force user to turn on history to see videos in recommendation/home tab. You can get over it by turning the history version ON and then watch a video and make sure it’s shown in the History tab. And now you can turn off the History and you will still see the recommendations/home feed loaded with videos. So the key is to not clear your watch history in Youtube if you already have one and then you can keep history turned ON/OFF as per you needed.

    Probably not because the home feed has existed without issue for years with my history turned off. This change only exists to convince people to turn their history on. I don’t know why they even need our permission rather than just removing it as an option to have it off, but I’m glad I can.
