Oh yeah I like YouTube in general for sure, it’s just a shame it’s algorithm is so sneakily manipulative of peoples minds and also how people have to pander to it to be seen at all. What can ya do tho it’s definitely not as evil as Facebook etc if you ask me

From what I understand, if you clear your watch history, it will reset the algorithm, though I could be oversimplifying things. I’d read recently that YouTube will require watch history to be enabled if you want videos to be recommended (which seems like an argument to disable it imo).

My beef with YouTube is their desperate need to sanitize so much content, which has resulted in some of the best history channels (e.g., TimeGhost and WW2) having videos demonetized or censored. Also, watching LA Beast puke at the end of some of his challenges was the funniest part and now that’s gone t:mad:
