This is explained on this support answer

It’s a thing on Revanced YT even if spoofing an old version.

Apparently applies to the web version?

    Is this bad? I really wouldn’t want YouTube to recommend me random garbage if they didn’t know what I already watched

      lol, I’ve always kept my watch history “paused” and YouTube always recommends… the videos I’ve already seen. Great. Thanks.

        Yt already recommends videos I’ve seen which is why I turned it off, now it doesn’t know what I’m interested in based on previous vids I’ve seen
