I disabled watch history, which appears to disable most personalization features, and my suggested videos are mostly sensible. (This disables the "Home" page entirely, but the chronological Subscriptions feed is still fully functional)

i.e. the suggested videos in the sidebar will always be relevant to what I'm currently watching, whatever that is, rather than stuff youtube thinks I might like in general.

I know it's doing something good because youtube keeps nagging me to turn watch history back on again.

Same here on the watch history. I like the blank home page.

One thing I did notice is when I upload an unlisted video the sidebar suggestions are lots of fighting clips, maybe some Joe Rogan, and all the baby Rush Limbaugh's getting rich off of hate. I'm assuming this is like the default for an unknown user who is not logged in.

Came here to say exactly this. Disabling watch history is gold.
