Reset YouTube suggestions

Go to solution Solved by tJuggernaut29,

on each video in the suggestion, on mobile at least, you can click the little 3 dots and say that you are not interested in this suggestion. then it changes the suggested video into "tell us why" than if you click that you can chose to no longer receive suggestions based upon the video it is suggesting based on, and you can choose to not receive suggestions from that channel as well. 

unfortunately this requires a lot of tapping to clear your suggestions, but if anyone knows of a simpler way id be curious as well

Hi,

 

I've done something stupid. I was hired by a company to work on some of their videos. I had access to their YouTube account, but forgot to switch back to mine. So I've been watching few videos using their account (just phone reviews luckily) and now I'm getting suggestions based on it. I cleaned the history but the suggestions are the same. It's not a huge deal but I'd rather have the suggestions reset or something. Any idea how to do that? If it can help, when I first used this account there was music videos suggestions. Probably because that's what the other person who has access to this account has watched a lot of them.

 

Thanks

I'll pretend you aren't looking at somthing more embarassing than "phone reviews"

essentially you would have to make a new account and change the ip in order for the suggestions to reset. youtube stores suggestions on their end , not your end.
