I turned off watch history on my youtube account years ago, and I was happy with it. Now youtube doesn't give me any suggestions.

I was happy with the suggestions I was getting. It kept popping up a dialog saying "Something not quite right? Turn on watch history to get personalized suggestions" but what I was getting was fine.
Now, it just gives me the blank page with no suggestions at all. I still have subscriptions, I guess.
I have about two options as I see it: Just watch from subscriptions, or use youtube less.
I think I'll probably do both, it's for the best that I reduce how much time I spend staring at the screen.
