Logging in means random videos I check from various corners of the internet starts shaping the recommendation algo. Many of these are extremely deep and vicious traps (eg my most recent one was misery porn).

Youtube premium does not works for incognito mode. This requires careful, and manual curation of my "history" page.

No thank you.

Wait...are you actually getting useful recommendations from the not-logged-in recommendation algorithm?

Whenever I've use YouTube not logged in the recommendations have been pretty worthless.

Not the person you asked, but yes. My not-logged-in recommendations are scarily great. They’re excellent (better than my logged-in recommendations, as of my last check) on the non-incognito browser on one machine, and merely very good on the incognito browser on the other machine.
