I'd pay more if they let me turn off shorts.

Even as paying customers we still the product somehow.

Even moreso as a paying customer: being one is a strong signal that you have disposable income.

If u turn off search history they turn all recommendations off which is actually a nice feature.

[postalrat]

It's clearly meant as a punishment because they could easily give recommendations based on playlists and such.

lol yeah at first I was annoyed that they seem to be applying pressure on people without the history feature cause they certainly kept recommending videos to me even though I had that feature off. But a few weeks ago, the screens are all blank imploring me to turn on the history, but I actually quite like it. No more youtube doom scrolling on my phone.

I’ve found turning on the 15m daily limit (the minimum available) has been helpful.
