I ran into a problem when they stopped recommending videos if you don’t allow them to save your search/viewing history. When I realized the extreme amount of data that this provides them, to the extent that their algorithms can likely identify what mental health issues people have that they may not even be aware of themselves, I tried to give them as little detail as I could.

No watch history plus subscriptions is the way to go.
