I've had my YT history off for years, today I was prompted to check the setting. I kept it off, now my Home feed is just a prompt to turn it on. I actually like it.

Try removing the problematic video from your history. That usually seems to help.

Been doing so over and over. The problem is that the recommendation model is pretty basic. You start watching a new channel or new topics, your recos start being mostly about topics related to the new channel/topics.

If I'm subbed to 200 channels, rarely do I get recos from channels I've subbed to early on. As a dev, I would love for the ability to tune what gets shown on the home page.
