I recently stumbled upon a small channel called KVN AUST, who's been making videos about what he calls "YouTube's Recycle Bin". It's about this and SO many other search terms (over a hundred), that turn up videos that have been public for over a decade often without a single view. It's so fascinating to see the random things people have uploaded.
It's stupid that my YT front page is simply empty, because "Your watch history is off", when it could simply be filled with a random selection of videos.
Stupid for us, but I bet people enable it just to get the empty page to go away.
