    I sign out to view shorts, clear site data, then manually search a couple of “seed” videos I like to get the algorithm picking out new stuff.

    It won’t even show you anything unless you have some viewing history. It’s just straight up broken for people who have had accounts for many years.

      Lol that’s close to what I do. It used to show you videos based on your likes and subs even with eatch history off but now they will refuse.

      So I just temporarily turned on history, watch some seeds, then turn it off again, and voila, it suggests based on likes and subs just like before.
