We also provide ways for you to tell us when we’re recommending something you aren’t interested in. For example, buttons on the homepage and in the “Up next” section allow you to filter and choose recommendations by specific topics. You can also click on “not interested” to tell us that a video or channel is not what you wanted to see at that time.</p> <p class="md md-p">And, if you don’t want to see recommendations on the homepage, you can turn off and clear your YouTube watch history. For users with YouTube watch history off and no significant prior watch history, the homepage will show the search bar and the left-hand Guide menu, with no feed of recommended videos.</p> <p
