“serves only to sponsor right wing media”
There’s a ton of comments here proving that false, as well as your own experience in all likelihood. Just because that’s the one thing you hate the most about it does not mean that’s all it does.
What is the point of this post even about? You want us to congratulate you on changing a setting?
I actually kinda wish mine would show some every now and then. The content I do watch uses a lot of clips that I wouldn’t mind seeing the full context of. But I can seek that out if need be, so that’s fine with me. But it never does that.
The closest I’ve come to that experience is when it shows frauditor channels (I watch a LOT of content making fun of them).
For example, for those familiar with it, I’ll get random videos from Chille’s channel, when no sane person has ever figured him to be correct about the current color of the sky, much less anything he says in his content.
Even when I see content from a legitimate auditor, it’s just a waste of time because that’s just boring af. The only fun thing about any of them is watching them get arrested while they scream about “muh rights”.

First, there are comments that deny what I said and there are also comments that confirm it. At least for what involves my country, Brasil, this is not some crazy thing in my head but an established fact.
I don’t want congratulations for absolutely nothing. I haven’t changed any settings either. My YouTube has had history turned off for ages and still had home screen functionality based on subscriptions and reacted videos and it sucked back when history was on too. The post was simply pointing out how mildly irritating it is that YouTube acts like it’s a feature that warrants the legal license to commercially use my viewing data.
