I love YouTube premium but the most frustrating thing is that there is no guest ...

Try creating a sub-account channel/brand account.

Yep, this is exactly what I'm doing and what the "Switch Account" feature uses. It should maybe be called "Switch Profile" as they are kinda tied together.

This is how I share with my kids at no extra cost!

Gets a bit convoluted as they have their own gmail accounts as well. But it works :-)

I still have my original Apple YouTube Red subscription active!

You can remove, and pause, your watch history (YouTube desktop), and remove searches from your search history

I don't know how much that effects recommendations, but Google support claims that's has an effect.

Might be easier than the alternatives listed by sibling comments.

YouTube recommendations are based on watch history (and a bit of extra info for each one, like how many seconds you watched of each video)

Doesn't the "Switch Account" feature do exactly that? If I use it I have the "default" YouTube recommendations that are not based on my main account but it still says YouTube Premium on the top and there's no ads.
