I love YouTube premium but the most frustrating thing is that there is no guest mode. You can go incognito but then there are ads. Which means my recommendations get messed up whenever people visit and play things on the TV!
- dewey 4y agoDoesn't the "Switch Account" feature do exactly that? If I use it I have the "default" YouTube recommendations that are not based on my main account but it still says YouTube Premium on the top and there's no ads.

- dewey 4y agoYep, this is exactly what I'm doing and what the "Switch Account" feature uses. It should maybe be called "Switch Profile" as they are kinda tied together.
- firecall 4y agoThis is how I share with my kids at no extra cost! Gets a bit convoluted as they have their own gmail accounts as well. But it works :-) I still have my original Apple YouTube Red subscription active!
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoYou can remove, and pause, your watch history (YouTube desktop), and remove searches from your search history I don't know how much that effects recommendations, but Google support claims that's has an effect. Might be easier than the alternatives listed by sibling comments.
- londons_explore 4y agoYouTube recommendations are based on watch history (and a bit of extra info for each one, like how many seconds you watched of each video)
