01. Know what history influences
YouTube may use watch and search history alongside other signals. Pausing history and using incognito mode change the experience, but do not guarantee diversity.
02. Start with explicit choices
Pick a language, topic range or duration instead of asking an algorithm to infer everything from previous clicks.
03. Avoid reinforcing a single click
Finding one interesting video should not automatically mean you want a dozen more on the same subject.
04. Use a separate discovery feed
Outside Your Feed does not increase category weights because you clicked a video. It uses its own record of displayed content to reduce repetition.
