YouTube Now Disabling Home Page if Your History is Off

[gdr_11]

A few days ago YouTube started blocking the normal home page with recommeded or trending videos for any user that has their history disabled. Some, like me, have had the history disabled for years and now all I get is a black home screen with a reminder to turn on history so they can recommend videos ( and track your usage + target your ads). From this page all you can do is access your subscription list or use the search bar.

Arrogant douches will just shrug when they lose 5-10 million users but they can easily afford that

youtube is still best for DIY videos, but 4Chan has good DIY forum to get good written answers to specific questions.

Youtube is dead for politics, Bitchute is much better for older political educational quality stuff. Best downloader is little red "balloon" with green downward arrow with white "" marks but I can't figure out its name.

Shows like Alex Jones are best downloaded off Bitchute with much smaller size than from his home website.

Yeah, I miss seeing the trending videos.

I just use YouTube when looking for something specific
I don't block history, or have an account, but the policy is absurd. Don't they track your current search even with history off?

Maybe it's just me but I find the most of the videos YouTube recommends I watch are not anything I want to watch or would do a search for.
It's best just to stick to the channels your subscribed to or do a search for a specific type of video.
YouTube's algorithms are either biased or not ready for prime time.

Also, if you ever get in a legal hassle involving firearms or self defense at all, consider youtube history as prosecution evidence.
