I've had my YT history off for years, today I was prompted to check the setting. I kept it off, now my Home feed is just a prompt to turn it on. I actually like it.

It is now mandatory to have a watch history on YouTube if you want to keep getting video recommendations.

Why do you hate the recommendations? For me it goes thru my subs and pics the videos I'm actually interested about and then fills the gaps with related videos at which it seems to do pretty good job at.
