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.

It’s even worse in the shorts algorithm.
All of the content I consume in YouTube shorts is like cute animals and food related, but I still keep getting “BEN SHAPIRO OWNS LIBERAL” and “Jordan Peterson gives his very important opinion on something he doesn’t know shit about” at least ~10% of the time.
Additionally, if you do end up on some right wing video, don’t downvote it. It just tells the algorithm you will engage with that content
