    Just turn off watch history (turns off recommendations and the home page) and use the subscription feed exclusively. Suggested videos will only appear based on your currently watched video, so completely unpersonalized

      This is what I’ve done for ages and it works like a charm (although unfortunately search is still terrible, no saving that mess). Well, I only got around to disabling watch history in the last year or so, but I’ve been going directly to the sub feed for almost as long as YouTube has existed. I think the only time I actually used the front page was in the very early days of YouTube when it was actually a little community and you’d have featured videos and stuff, but that was like 15 years ago.
