I get they want to work against ad blockers, but as a Premium member I really wish there was an easy way to watch a video without it polluting my history or recommendations. I don't want to watch ads just due to that.

You can remove videos from your watch history and in my experience that does have an impact on the recommendations as it's not factored in anymore

Right, but that's annoying and you gotta remember. Something easier would be nice.
