Don't be signed in when watching YT videos, and delete cookies from Google and YouTube on a daily basis. Works for me.

The problem with this is that I can't use 'like' as a 'bookmark for later' feature.
I've never really had an issue with the 'suggested videos' feed, because I've never really paid any attention to it. When I find a channel I like (usually through recommendations from other channels I like), I subscribe to it. Whenever I visit YouTube, I go directly to my subscriptions feed and watch any new content from there.
On the occasion that I have stumbled across the suggested/recommended feed, it's only ever been 1) Fucking loads of knock-off versions of channels I've subscribed to, 2) Linus fucking Tech Tips, or 3) Videos that Youtube is pushing due to current cultural/political trends. It's bollocks.
Mind you, YouTube's entire business model is absolute bollocks, so it's not much of a surprise that their recommended feed is curated to suit YouTube far more than it's tailored to fit the user.

Bookmark the url in your browser instead, unless you're talking the mobile app.
Yeah, "Recommended" is BS.

I like saving the stuff I do like and 'watch later' functions.
My memory is too rubbish.
