I go to History afterwards and delete specific videos from there with “x”. That still works. But even self-curated history and other tips I’ve got here still produce an echo chamber. Even “New to you” tab which appears once a month for few minutes becomes too narrow. I gave up recently and removed youtube from my bookmarks bar, to suffer less often. I find the idea of paying for it pretty… strange?
