> Not extremely sure why this happens It’s when you have no watch history.

  It's actually from the adblocker. Google is cracking down and making YouTube harder to use if you don't have ads or a premium subscription.

    No, it’s when you are signed out and have no watch history (I can’t remember if it also does it when signed in but with no watch/search history). Try an incognito window with no ad blocker. Trust me on this one. Read about it here: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/139222780?hl=en&msgid=229405279 https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/139222780?hl=en&ms...

      Yeah, I have watch and search history turned off. The former makes the dashboard empty. Turning on watch history brings suggestions back.

  I also have no watch history, but my screen only began to look like that when I subscribed to premium.

    Didn't realize it's a premium-specific thing. I have had watch history turned off for a long time now, and assumed that's all that one needed to do for dashboard to be empty.

      It’s not a premium thing. It started last year and may have just coincidentally started around the time they signed up for premium.
