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

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.
