Whoa, does YouTube actually honor some do-not-track setting now? Non-logged-in, I get a completley blank page, no recommended videos, with a prompt to search. Or is this just some UBO filter I have enabled?

@dalias I've disabled my watch history, and I get a blank page. Zero recommendations. YouTube probably thinks this is such a bad experience that people will just reenable their history, but they're wrong. Now I only watch videos from channels I've actually subscribed to, and it's AMAZING. It feels like such a more deliberate, purposeful watching experience.

In that mode, don't they bug you with non-skippable ads every 2 minutes or whenever you fast forwarded?
