EDIT: I have my YouTube history off for years. However, I still had the home feature but based only in subscriptions, likes and dislikes. It was a crap, and was crap in the time I had history on too. Recently, YouTube removed the home feature for me and made that.

They sell this crap feature, that basically serves only to sponsor right wing media for no reason, as if it was a greate and modern feature, and as if it was worth enough to give Google the commercial right to my activity on YouTube. This shit is so useless that I am using only the subscriptions tab with PocketTube, since the default one is also crap.

      I uses Newpipe too. It’s so great that I already haven’t used official YouTube app in years.

      If you are using desktop, You can also use FreeTube.

      I already installed NewPipe in my grandma’s television (I don’t have one). In mobile I sticks with revanced because I love sponsorbock and to have selective adblocker. In desktop I sticks with the site but I use several extensions to made it usable: Return deslike, YouTube enhancer, pockettube, sponsorblock, etc.
