I don’t know about other platforms but removing watched videos from your watch history on YouTube alters what’s recommended. So if you search and purge all videos on a certain topics, videos about that topic are far less likely to come up as recommended.
It becomes like hygiene. Watched a video about AI? Go remove it from your watch history. Too many true crime videos coming up? Delete all crime related videos from your watch history.
I try to limit mine to short animation and science/DIY videos.
I appreciate that, but I’m not trying to avoid videos. I mean that at different times I want to watch different things. Something on in the background while I work, something to watch while I’m working out, something to sit down on the couch on my living room tv and direct all of my attention to.
So I don’t want to be constantly making permanent changes to my account, but rather switch between different… Sub-accounts maybe? Profiles? Different customizable feeds?
