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.

Been doing so over and over. The problem is that the recommendation model is pretty basic. You start watching a new channel or new topics, your recos start being mostly about topics related to the new channel/topics.

If I'm subbed to 200 channels, rarely do I get recos from channels I've subbed to early on. As a dev, I would love for the ability to tune what gets shown on the home page.
