YouTube now requires Google account to show recommendations

YouTube shows recommended content and videos based on the viewer’s interest and liking. Recently, it has been spotted that YouTube doesn’t display recommendations when a Google account is signed out.

BleepingComputer reports that YouTube no longer shows video recommendations to users logged out of a Google account. Also, you won’t get recommended content while accessing the platform in an incognito window.

This change shows a simple YouTube homepage without any videos or tips on what to watch. Previously, YouTube kept promoting recommended content to users based on their activity and interests.

As the change rolls out, users see a message saying “Get Started” and “Start watching videos to help us build a feed of videos you’ll love” when they open YouTube in incognito mode, with videos no longer being recommended.
