YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google - eviltoast

YouTube has changed how it works for people not signed into Google account or using incoginto mode, and it’s not showing suggested videos anymore. This change, which is being tested with some random users, shows a very simple YouTube homepage without any videos or tips on what to watch.

    Good actually. I sometimes go incognito when I don’t want my watch history to be saved and man the recommendations I get without signed in are fucking eye cancer.

      if by “this” you mean your comment, it’s bad that you assume all information is intended to be a complaint, whereas this isn’t and is actually slightly positive…
      although just barely positive…

    Good. Only time i use YT I’m already looking for something specific. I dunno tho, does this suck for people using YT another way? I haven’t changed my Internet habits in a long time
