YouTube actually doesn’t suggest me content at all, anymore. It’s telling me watch history is disabled and I have to turn it back on in order to get recommendations. I used to fix this problem with the uBlock Origin’s Purge Cache button, but now that’s gone too and the new method to do it doesn’t seem to work.
So now whenever I go to YT I type in names of a couple creators I follow to see if they’ve uploaded, and leave the platform afterwards.
I’ve set Revanced to start on Subscriptions, instead of Home, so I’m not mentally spammed with whichever bullshit is “du jour”.
I also disabled shorts, because it was too easy to lose an hours of 2 to that mental cancer (even if some shorts were great).
Disable shorts via You (lower right) > Cog (upper right) > Revanced (pretty low) > Shorts components (at the bottom) > Hide Shorts in feed (first option).

Just set your favorite to be the subscription menu instead of the home page.
