I like how they actually removed suggestions on the home page on the first time you visit logged out. I never click on anything on the home page suggestions and most of the stuff there is garbage, so it’s actually refreshing just to see a blank home page.
It’s still garbage, but you’re 100% correct about it being 1000x worse logged out, at least it’s like that for me.
I started getting a shitload of recommended videos based off an app I played for 5 minutes and deleted.
I never looked it up on youtube or google, and I didn’t even search for it in the play store, I just saw it listed as similar to a different game that I did look up.
And after a week of constantly telling them to stop recommending me these videos because I don’t like them, I’m still seeing them.
Again, played the app for a few minutes and deleted, have now spent more time telling youtube to stop showing it to me than I spent playing.

I don’t watch him or any top YouTubers, but many other clickbait thumbnails are far worse and more annoying with their shocked “YouTube face”…

This is how I use. At least any rabbit hole is started by me.

Google does a fair amount of data gathering even if you don’t log in. I think it does it through cookies, fingerprinting or browser inspection
If I use a session long enough it will start to change to my actual taste
If your tastes are anything except the average population’s, you will have little to no interest in the homepage suggestions.
