I think logging out or just starting a new account suffices. I also think in settings Youtube allows you to delete your history and therefore the algorithm's learning from it.

Most times I see the front page of youtube I'm happy they take me into my own universe of interests.

I think I've disabled my watching history in Youtube and the frontpage suggestions are quite poor (mostly videos from my subscriptions I have already watched or videos that might share one or two tags with a video I watched last year and don't interest me at all).

Yup, I've noticed that when I use an account old enough (like for 7-8 years), Youtube recommends the same videos.. (it seems to be in a local maximum).
