This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you disable your watch history the home screen is empty anyways
So do people who disable their watch history also just not have any subscriptions because just makes YouTube useless unless you already know the link.
I have lots of subscriptions and disable my search history. I sub to things I want updates for, and search for stuff I don't. Simple and effective.
Right so why disable watch history? It's obviously not a privacy thing because YouTube already know what kind of content you look for because they can see your subscriptions it just seems to be ineffectively making your life more difficult and not really increasing privacy
So I get no value from it, and it is extra tracking, so I disable it.
YouTube used to still recommend you (slightly less relevant) stuff with watch history off.
