        Funny think about that.

        I also had it disabled, started watching a longer(ish) video, closed the video and enabled history and somehow YouTube knew how much I already watched before history was on.

        So my guess is that history off is only for the user, YouTube knows anyway, it just pretends not to store it

        Well, that might be the cause. Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.
