YouTube is one of the most-used websites online. It is an excellent source of information and entertainment, but it can also be frustrating when it doesn't work properly.
A lot of users complain about YouTube's recommendation system because the platform recommends the same videos over and over again. This leaves little room for exploring new videos.
If you're experiencing the same problem, this blog post will show you how to reset your YouTube recommendations so they are better tailored to your interests.
There are a few things users can try to reset YouTube recommendations and "make" YouTube serve them new videos:
With a Google search history reset as well as YouTube's watch history reset, you can effectively wipe your interests clean on YouTube.
Without any search history, the platform won't be able to decide which content is relevant to you, and therefore, the recommended videos on YouTube will be completely new once you take this action.
Deleting your entire YouTube history will delete both your search and watch Youtube history.

Over time YouTube's algorithm will get the hang of your preferences and start recommending videos again. Therefore, turning off your watch and search history completely means that YouTube won't base the future video recommendations on your previously watched videos.
You will still receive recommendations; however, those will be based on the current video you are watching, your location, trends, and similar.

When it comes to suggesting relevant videos to its users, YouTube has achieved some sophistication, but users can still do a few things to receive even better recommendations.
Users can, for instance, click/tap on the three dots next to the video they are watching to select 'Not interested', to prevent YouTube from recommending videos with similar content, or select 'Don't recommend channel' to stop YouTube from showing them a particular channel.
