My solution has been to redirect the YouTube home page to the subscriptions page. This prevents me from watching recommendations. I also created a new YouTube account (note this doesn’t require you to create a new Google account), and manually added all my subscriptions. This means it has no data on what to recommend me and so the recommendations are terrible and I never even want to click them. This encourages me to carefully curate my subscriptions, so I only watch high-quality videos from consistently high-quality channels. I also have nebula but I find increasingly many of the channels are too low-quality for me. I think this is because my standards have been raised and my detection of low quality has improved. I’m now not sure that it’s worth it for me though.
