There is no way to cancel or turn off this alert. Youtube really wants you to enable your watch history so you can properly view the site.
The subscriptions page works fine, most other things do. Just not the homepage. You'd think if they didn't want people to not save watch history they would just change the setting for each user. It's odd that they're making users enable the saving of watch history manually.
Mine you could always clear your watch history if you ever wanted to reset it to the default Mr Beast and Rhett and Link recommendations.
Use a yt downloader.
Still works fine for me.
Its not uncommon when big platforms roll out new "features", they only roll them out to limited users first. Or they'll only be on certain servers as the changes propagate.
You can "change user agent".
Lets me get new accounts when banned.
Obviously nsa knows all.
Its their fkn toy.
Why is it even an option then? Legal CYA mode?
I can't figure that part out. Like you said, they could easily just remove the option completely and force people to save their watch history.
