The hide recommendations filter uses the protobuffer, and this likely is the same issue as #2694

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

@ikubaysan the dev release is now the regular release.

Try re-patching 19.04.37 using Manager, and report back if the issue seems to be fixed or if you still see the 'People also watched' recommendations.

The recommended videos are hidden, but there is a new section above the hidden videos that still shows.

The filter:
^shelf_header.eml$yt_outline_people_group_vd_theme_24
Hides the 'people also watched' section (but not the 'show more' button)

A new section also shows up with the 'for you' results:

I also get the "For you" section.
And this "Popular today" suddenly appear. At the first time I took a logs it's hidden. Dunno if Google choose my account as a/b tester.

I actually had mentioned most of these categories in my #6 issue, the only one which I didn't come across is Popular today. I did want to report that the issue wasn't fixed then but didn't find myself the time to provide a feedback.

Looks to be A/B as I can not see this when I search for dog. I'll need someone to give me access to an affected account. Please contact me at osumatrix@revanced.app
