In what scenario are you watching it without being logged in?

    Not the person you asked, but I do that sometimes. For instance, when I want to watch a specific video but I don't want having watched it to affect other video recommendations.

    I don't know if this actually does what I hope it does, but if I happen to watch a video that I don't want recommendations on in the future, I manually delete the video from my watch history.

    I don't know if that really helps, but at least as a placebo it feels good to do.

    If unsure of a video, 1. on desktop open in new tab - if ya don't want that content/creator click the 3 dots on the main page video and select don't suggest channel, on phone (just did this a few mins ago) back out of video and since on mobile the home feed doesn't reset hit the 3 dots etc
