If Youtube's algorithm doesn't know you from Adam it can't recommend things that might be relevant to your interests
Having watch history off doesn't mean having no history at all. I have my watch history filled with only the videos I enjoyed (mostly videos with fit girls) before I turned it off. Youtube only recommends me stuffs based on those (and my likes/subscriptions obviously). I can watch whatever random videos I found while pooping and never have to worry it might screw up yt recommendations.
Thanks. A little weird though. To me it looks like it should be the main priority before every other feature. But may be it's because I came from reddit where its main purpose is a link aggregator.
YouTube will soon require watch history to be enabled to show video suggestions (support.google.com)
On the flip side, this also means users have the option to have a cleaner, less cluttered interface....

What movie did you rewatch most often?
For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.

Is there a way to open external link from front page/thread list without opening the thread first?
I know I can preview images and videos, but to read a news article I have to open the thread first then click the link to the article....

YSK that Kbin can subscribe not only to magazines and communities, but entire instances.
This may be useful for folks looking to expand their feed. I discovered this on accident and it completely revolutionized my experience on Kbin....
Where are all the videos and gifs?
I’ve noticed that on Lemmy there aren’t really any videos/gifs as I scroll. I just see post titles, links, or images....
