Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account.

  Yeah, considering what garbage tends to top the trending charts at YT, I think a blank page is better than if they just show the most popular videos of the day.

  You too can get his by disabling history

    In fact if you disable history it will refuse to show you things even after you search something.

      On the home screen yes, but you do still get search results.

        You get a handful of results, after which you just get “recommended” AI slop shorts and completely irrelevant “suggestions”.

        If YT Red gave me the option to disable Shorts and “suggestions” I might pay for it but you can’t pay your way out of this hellhole.

        Yes, that’s what I meant. The home screen will just continue to inform you that your history is off. You can only sign out or browse your subscriptions.
