Pro tip: You can turn off your watch history entirely, and then you won't get recommendations (or shorts) on the YouTube home page (both on the web and mobile). I've found this to be the best way to use YouTube. No more "feed." Sadly, there seems to be no way to block recommendations that appear next to a playing video.

I actually really love the recommendations I get from YouTube.
My watch history is basically entirely my hobbies and interests and thus YouTube suggests more stuff related to those. A lot of it is channels I'm already subscribed to, but it does a good job of surfacing new channels that I wouldn't otherwise know about it.
