  • YouTube now requires signed-in users to turn on their watch history if they want recommendations.
  • The change has already started rolling out and will reach all users in the next few months.
  • Your YouTube home feed will essentially be blank if you don’t turn on watch history.

YouTube will stop showing video recommendations to users who have their watch history switched off. The platform updated its support page on August 8 to note that starting now, YouTube subscribers who don’t have a significant watch history will have their recommendations disabled.
