the trick is to ignore your homepage and only browse your subscriptions page
you can use an extension to automatically redirect to your subscriptions page
Lol y is your watch history still on
Watch history is useful if you actively curate your algorithm feed. If you don’t engage with the tools the algorithm interacts with you can quickly end up with a free-for-all on your main page.
Oh it staight up disables the home page. Search > algo.
You watch one video about old people reacting to rage against the machine and suddenly all the recommended videos are by “reactors” that make $50k a month doing nothing but watching movies with their mouth open
an acquaintance of mine did a reaction vid where they reacted as one normally would - ie very minimal almost nothing - to a star wars announcement and got death threats lol
Hey, that is a useful job! Do you always have opinions on things? Are you sure, you always have the right opinions? Come on, let’s make sure and watch a person with a funny face watch other things and move said face in a way, we can immitate!
I got way better due to them tho 😅
I use a 3rd party app Freetube. Don’t need a google account and you can set multiple subscription profiles for different types of content. I only find new channels from suggestions for each video but stick to subscription as home page. But as with any 3rd party front end, YouTube is in constant battle with them, especially with vpn which can break things once in a while but it is a price you have to pay for a bit of privacy.
Not just privacy, also usability. I can’t watch 5 minutes on YouTube without ads and the algorithm is aparantly more important than your own preferences, according to Google.
Log out, clear cookies, never log in again.
What is balatro?

Ha! I made this mistake when looking for a morning joe video to use to make fun of my hardcore right wing friend. Now all I see is those shit heads on my algo.
Free autism diagnosis by the algorithm
Unironically the YT algorithm that pushed me into videos that eventually made me get diagnosed by a professional.
pony on the front, lol
it’s coming it’s real
You’re using YouTube wrong. You’re supposed to set your default page to the subscriptions page.
YT assumes you’re always binge-watching. Which people often are apparently.
Just use your subscription tab, like we did in the olden days.
So…am I the only one who only uses the “Subscriptions” section? It has been years since I went the YouTube homepage.
If I ever watch one Mr. Bean YouTube video, all my suggestions become Mr. Bean. I mean he’s ok but they literally have the same video uploaded to multiple channels with slightly different names.
Give me more different Mr. Bean. Stop repeating the Bean.
Unfortunately there’s only like, 10 Mr. Bean episodes. Not much “more different” to go off of there.
That realisation was what made me doubt all of my childhood memories.
Kid me was sure there was at least 50 episodes of an hour each. Nope. Only 14. All less than half an hour long.
Rowan Atkinson’s been in a lot of other stuff, for example Blackadder (multiple series). He’s also played Mr Bean in lots of movies.
A childhood favourite of mine, The Witches, featured Rowan Atkinson as the hotel manager. Apparently during filming (which took place in a real hotel, not a sound stage) Rowan was in his room when the crew noticed water pouring out from under his door. They opened the door and found him sleeping in bed with the water running! The sets outside were flooded and a bunch of equipment was damaged by water!
This is there first time I am learning about this and I am also finding it difficult to accept
I remember when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls was randomly playing in my head so I decided to listen to it. YouTube took that as me finding a new favourite band. I mostly listen to industrial metal.
