I don't understand the logic behind this. Yes, if the history is turned off, they can't tailor recommendations for you. Doesn't that give them carte blanche to just serve up whatever they want, like some kind of default profile of trends/propaganda? Haven't they already been doing that?

None of this is true.

I got banned from all YouTube comment sections for telling the truth before I knew Reddit existed. Not sure if that was 2018? After DJT got elected anyway.

I get related videos based on what I've watched anyway. Perhaps more random stuff than if I had an account to log in to, but it's still pretty personalized.

I can't watch an age restricted video, which I find hilarious.

I just tested their homepage just to see. This was in the top 5:

What Yuri Bezmenov didn't tell you.

They know what I've been watching! Lol.
