        I have lots of subscriptions and disable my search history. I sub to things I want updates for, and search for stuff I don’t. Simple and effective.

            1. YouTube’s suggestions are crap, especially since my kids use my account
            2. Most of my YouTube watching is through NewPipe on Android
            3. I avoid most Google products and use an ad blocker, so their tracking doesn’t really affect me

            So I get no value from it, and it is extra tracking, so I disable it.

        YouTube used to still recommend you (slightly less relevant) stuff with watch history off.
