You can delete videos from your youtube watch history and then they won't affect your recommendations anymore:

Go here: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history?hl=en_GB

Click on "Watch and search history" on the right hand menu.

Use the search near the top of that page to find the videos you want to remove.

From those two pages you can also set up auto delete every [x] months, delete all vids from a date range, pause recording of watch history and other stuff that can be very useful.

Why was it just those four that were put on trial, anyway? Are those the ones the police managed to track down or the ones who were willing to contest it in court or what

Christ that's rough. I can't imagine having to work anywhere close to that field.

On a selfish note the idea of having a life threatening emergency is pretty scary right now. Even if you have the meant to get yourself to A&E rather than wait for an ambulance there'll be situations where you can't be safely moved without one.

The former I think, they were charged with causing criminal damage together with "others unknown".

Judging by the last few years of world events it's probably because there was a YouTube video that went
"What's up folks, it's your boi, Rhian.
I'm here at this protest against the staute of Colston at Bristol and we are going to pull the whole thing down.
Before I do this, I would like to say to my viewers that at this point I have specifically formed the Mens Rea for criminal damage in my head.
All right, let's do this! Sage! Milo! Jake! Help me push."

Would they have been found not guilty if they weren't all white? 4D-Chess Conspiracy: CPS were under political pressure from Number 10 to charge people so they found the most white middleclass bunch they could, in the hope it would derail any subsequent charges against other groups.

This is true again wrt film/tv. Install Plex on your TV, torrent all your poo poo on your PC, no more loving around trying to work out which platform you need to use to watch [x].

The last time I used a public tracker I got an email from Disney via my ISP politely suggesting I stop it or I'd owe them lots of money. Which, considering I was just downloading some light background noise nonsense (think it was Grey's Anatomy. I like lovely medical dramas with lots of episodes OK?) really didn't seem worth it. Using torrents & everything is easy, but keeping up with which sites are actually safe to use & are able to get access to if it's a private tracker is that layer of effort.

Worth mentioning if you have prime, you can also read books free via Kindle Unlimited. Authors get compensated from a weird streaming-type model where Amazon throw a huge pot to the authors that gets distributed based on the anount of page reads. You get free books, and some of them are surprisingly recent.

Of all the poo poo Amazon are evil over, their self publishing side is a really, really good deal for authors compared to the traditional markets, and for once it doesn't seem to be union-busting (yet).

*prime books

kindle unlimited is a separate service that costs £8 but if you try it once you keep getting offered huge discounts on it.

I feel like you've got this the wrong way round. The police are champing at the bit to lock up everyone found to be maliciously in possession of the wrong skin colour and / or political beliefs. The CPS however are loving cowards who won't even look at a case unless there's a video, fingerprints, dna, a full timeline and the accused pleads guilty by saying "I killed her because I'm a complete poo poo" at interview.

There's an obscene amount of rapists and domestic abusers who get let out purely because the CPS regused to charge.

My wife looked into it and I think the difference is that you're allowed to rent multiple books under KU, but you can rent one at a time with Prime. Authors still get paid for their pageviews either way.
