has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature? (lemmy.ml)

I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and watching additional content is harder.

This is good progress from Google to get off their platform :)

I prefer not to consume content I don't seek out, and I don't really seek out YouTube content.
