This is explained on this support answer
It’s a thing on Revanced YT even if spoofing an old version. Applies to the web version as well now
This seems to be due to some new EU law ?
Is this a con for people?
The recommendation algorithm has always been garbage to me.
Is this bad? I really wouldn’t want YouTube to recommend me random garbage if they didn’t know what I already watched
lol, I’ve always kept my watch history “paused” and YouTube always recommends… the videos I’ve already seen. Great. Thanks.
Yt already recommends videos I’ve seen which is why I turned it off, now it doesn’t know what I’m interested in based on previous vids I’ve seen
That is bloody lovely to not get distracted
yup, I didn’t say it was bad, I just said they made this a thing :)
If you want you can use revanced to remove the home page completely and enter subscriptions page automatically.
Oh, nice! I really appreciate those rare occasions where Google makes my experience better.
I vouch for Newpipe 👍
I uninstalled Spotify after I found newpipe. I add all my fav songs in playlist and when I want to list, I hit play all and all my fav songs starts to play. Love it! Newpipe is the best
Check out InnerTune on f-droid. You’ll find it’s even better than Newpipe for music.
I’ve used it. Some songs refuse to play and sometimes it just stops responding to touch. I am using a custom rom, A13 so not sure if its the ROM or app. If its working fine for you then checkout musify and blackhole.
I’ve been using ViMusic for music and it’s great but I’ve downloaded my favorite songs on deezer with deemix and I’m using jellyfin to stream them lately …but I’ll check InnerTune anyway 😄
What’s up with the weird logo on YouTube lately?
Click it and it will show you.
Some calligraphy thing
Wait, that’s all I have to do? Now I just need to figure out how to turn video history off.
Actually nice.
ok. first to-do things on my list now.
Seriously, youtube recommendation become a trash. All it recommend me is propaganda videos even though I’m never interested in it. Gone are the golden age where youtubers don’t simp for like, share, subscribe and comment.
nice. i disabled my history for this very reason.
Let’s hope this applies to Google TV homescreen too.
Do Revanced or Piped allow you to easily cast now? That was my main issue with them a while ago (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro, maybe it was my phone?)
I think it works now but I can’t verify right now.
This happened to me a year ago I think. There was no way I was going to turn on watch history. Previously it would make recommendations based on my subscriptions, and that was fine, so why use watch history? It resulted in me almost never using YouTube, and after a few months it went back to normal. Maybe you can wait it out.
they started rolling this out on desktop too now
You are using the official client? It’s terrible on pretty much any platform
I’m using revanced
