    Doesn’t that make sense? How would they know what to recommend if they don’t store the history of what you watch?

    Yes I know it’s bogus and they store it anyway - but just to humor the theory.

      Since YouTube’s beginning it has made recommendations without using a watch history. For personalized recommendations, it based them on subscriptions if watch history wasn’t on.
