can you share how you hide what’s watched in the feed?

Sure! Dunno where I got these uBlock scripts from originally; I've adjusted them as Youtube keeps changing their element tree.

  ! hide watched videos on youtube pages
  youtube.com##[page-subtype="home"] .ytd-rich-item-renderer .ytThumbnailOverlayProgressBarHostWatchedProgressBarSegmentModern:upward(.ytd-rich-grid-renderer)
  youtube.com##[page-subtype="home"] .ytd-thumbnail-overlay-resume-playback-renderer:upward(.ytd-rich-grid-renderer)
  ! Hide stupid "Includes paid promotions" button
  www.youtube.com##div[class^='YtInlinePlayerControlsTopLeftControls']
