No more YouTube recommendations on Android if video history is turned off

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

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.

Is this a con for people?

The recommendation algorithm has always been garbage to me.

Wait, that’s all I have to do? Now I just need to figure out how to turn video history off.

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.
