+1 for cleaning up the watch history. It's pretty nice that youtube let's you edit that and doesn't use a "full history" to train the recommendation algorithm.

I try to be careful and always use private browsing when opening "suspicious" videos, but every now and then, one slips and taints my recommendation.
OTOH, with a clean history, I barely subscribe to channels, since new videos usually end up in the recommendations, anyway.
- Konohamaru 6y agoHow do you clean up your watch history?
- scrollaway 6y agoGo to "History" in your sidebar: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history https://www.youtube.com/feed/history You can individually remove videos by clicking on Delete (at least on desktop). You can also pause your watch history (eg. for some guest browsing) or clear it entirely (if you want to start from scratch).
