the only videos i want to see on youtube for the most part are uploads of rescued VHS rips of hysterically low budget short films that otherwise would have been lost to the sands of time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5MudONL7Y0 or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZRE4UqNKDo

Fil5000 posted:The DVD only episodes set in a future where being able to wipe people's minds remotely has, unsurprisingly, utterly hosed up everything, was an interesting idea, but yeah, DVD only because we needed all the actually aired episodes to be Joss Whedon's List Of Sexy Outfits For Eliza Dushku To Wear: The Series. Considering what happened to Eliza Dushku on the set of True Lies, this is even more disturbing!

This is a level of absolute trash I've never seen before. It appears to be exclusively populated by videos watched by 16 year old German teenagers sitting in vocational school.

One of the other many, many sins of Dollhouse is that the executives, i guess a bit gunshy about cancelling another Whedon show, decided to give it a second season, which came at least partially at the expense of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Mine aren't bad, they're just aggressively boring and don't seem to have any relation to the content I usually watch. I don't know why Youtube thinks I would be interested in Minecraft LPs, MMA and Motorcycles.

After complaining about Youtube recs this morning, it threw up this interesting thing now. Someone going through an Agatha Christie novel for the first time and attempting to solve it before Poirot does. Except, she uh... she picked The Murder of Roger Ackroyd for this endeavour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZCPLhNA9x0

I suspect GeoIP garbage. Let's review the Explore page.  1. I have no idea, but it's aimed at people in school 2. "The new Chancellor-Car (oh hey the alliteration translates), pure garbage 3. "24 hours alone in the TRAMPOLINHALLE Challenge!" pass 4. Ramos-Debut…..this is some football poo poo isn't it. pass 5. No idea 6. "The last fairy tale in asocial part 1" … no, gently caress off 7. Bushido is a moron, why 8. ???? 9. gently caress off ffs 10. ??? 11. "BRUTAL KREISLIGA GAME ENDS WITH A PLAYER IN HOSPITAL" no. I scrolled down a lot and it's all gabage. Completely worthless garbage. The only exception is this dude reviewing LEGO and (superior) knockoff products, like this typewriter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCZbdS6ELvA

I actually was looking for highlights of 2 :3 3 pretty good R+B that I wouldn't have checked out otherwise 4 it's not great but at least its a creative work 5 lol 6 lol 7 I'm a sucker for Shaq and informal interview fluff so I'll probably check this out I'd go as far as to say that this is a pretty appealing list for most people, and isn't just bait for children to watch.

stillvisions posted:My facebook strategy has been 3 things to strike a deal with the beast: i should totally try this, esp 1 and 2, thanks! it probably will also stop the same "friend posting about his dad's birthday" reappearing on my feed five days in a row (unless I click "recent") which apparently is a facebook thing that we all have to contend with now. I went to check my explore button on youtube and it's the usual tiktok compilations, top 10 music compilations, mrbeast's squid game, reaction to mrbeast's squid game, and for some reason Nas Daily sitting at 3+ million despite almost all of south east asia loving hating this grifting rear end in a top hat.

Penguinz0 is my personal guy who is recommended a lot despite my never interacting with him as far as I recall. It’s wild how these subdivisions within YouTube communities never interact. I watch lots of video game stuff, and if you point me at whoever is popular among the kids these days, I’d have no way to tell if they just were just manifested into existence.

Dr Christmas posted:Penguinz0 is my personal guy who is recommended a lot despite my never interacting with him as far as I recall. It bugs me that that's his channel name but literally everyone knows him as Cr1TiKal/Charlie That one video he did ages ago of the original FIve Nights At Freddy's is a classic by "random dude plays video game with irreverent attitude" standards (in my opinion) but these days he's just more of a general commentary guy. Which is fine but wasn't really entertaining enough for me to stick around for personally. I like commentary channels but his sense of humor is a little too crass for my tastes

I haven't seen any kind of right wing ads on YouTube for well over a year. Right around the time all the social media platforms were scrubbing their sites of the really obvious extremist poo poo. Weird that I apparently have a very different experience than most.

I don't get Prager but for some reason I'm constantly getting the same ad for some bullshit crypto thing. It's weird because the only crypto related thing I do is follow the "Crypto Bros Taking Ls" twitter.

I started blocking ads on Twitter to see what'd happen. I just got a bunch of ads for crypto poo poo and fratty lifestyle gurus. Turns out Honda, The Masked Singer, Starbucks etc form a protective barrier against weird scams.

Oh my, are you telling me that someone who didn't like Mr. Beast's take on Squid Game should just go live in a shack if he wants everyone to be miserable? Go ahead, just add that minutes long butthole eating analogy and raise that ΔS for everyone.

It took me a long time to click on this vid/song that YT recommended to me incessantly. Have to say, it was pretty bloody worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gj47G2e1Jc I still get "The Fall of 76" recommended to me a lot even though I have watched it through several times, but then doesn't everybody get that? There isn't a sidebar on the site without Todd Howard's face on it.

It lets you use desktop chrome extentions on android, including adblockers.

Also helps that said song is indeed a banger.
