Not me. Like I said, the only thing that appears on my home page that isn't related to videos I've liked/channels I've subscribed to is the occasional "Topic" section relating to music, which is easy to dismiss.
Of course, you need to clear your search and watch history too, otherwise all those clickbait videos you clicked on before will still be driving your suggestions.
Iv had both cleared and disabled probably for 7 years now, and still get garbage every day. Just now watching some 3dfx gameplay video I get:
"$7,000.00 Beta Starter Opened with OpenBoosters - BLACK LOTUS?" investment scam?
"MY $1MILLION DIAMOND INVESTMENT" mm Im seeing a pattern here
"Flat Earth: What Makes REAL Science? – Wisecrack Edition" wat?
Not to mention 10 out of 20 suggestions are videos I already watched and upvoted (I inject custom CSS into YT to make :visited visible again so I can skip it).
Let me clarify: my home page feed doesn't have any clickbait. The suggestions below videos still have some spam, but it's usually related to the video somehow. I rarely look at them anyway.
How are the three videos I listed above related in any way, shape or form to retro 3dfx gameplay video "Pentium MMX 233 - 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics (Voodoo 1) 8MB running Racing Games from 1998!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb4yajgcLA8 ? Btw today those suggestions are gone, mostly replaced by IRL rally racing ones, probably because one video before that I opened "Paris Dakar 1990 (1990) - Every PC Rally Game".
Getting shitty clickbaity/scam suggestions is not a given/reproducible, but they still happen often enough to be noticed on a daily basis.
I've found that clearing my search and watch history is unnescessary - after aggressively pruning any such video I see with "not interested", and also taking the personal initiative to just stop clicking on anything that looks like it's probably clickbait, I've largely stopped getting such reccomendations.
So with that factor removed, my search/watch history actually seems to be driving cleverer selection of videos to recommend, not worse.
