I’m so happy to be out of the dating phase of my life. I wouldn’t stand a chance with my tinfoil hat settings like deactivated recommendations, ad- and js-blocking and auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.

I actually have YouTube history turned off and rarely if ever watch something that I’m not subscribed to, namely, a maths nerd, two tech channels, some musical people and the guy who makes sausages.

Similar here. I don’t trust the algorithm and I’m not interested in outsourcing my attention and thinking to it.

I’m intrigued: who is the guy who makes sausages?

dyc3 ,

Probably this guy www.youtube.com/

I like how the top video is actually a normal video but the thumbnail makes it look like a meme post lol

Woah

Well I wasn’t planning on immediately letting you know I like retro electronics, but have at it

That’s a pretty good video though.

No financial stability based on the lego one. :D

I watched the sub one already, great recommendation to lose some minutes of time on

I got a new Raycevick video and Engineering Explained video about F1. I am happy with this

If you are into the Lego video you may want to check out Brick Experiment Channel

That looks great thanks!

I don’t watch YouTube on mobile, this app is an ancient Vanced version that doesn’t even work, and newpipe hasn’t worked for me recently either. If there is a YT vid I absolutely have to watch on mobile I rawdog it in Firefox with ubp

YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.

My home page looks the same either way, though.

needanke ,

Newpipe has hat two major fixes to account for yt changing the way it served videos. Wasn’t working for a few weeks for me either but since 1-2 weeks ago it’s reliably working again. So, maybe try and update to the newest version now to check if it works again if you are interested in using it.

Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.

lightnsfw ,

The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.

AFaithfulNihilist ,
@AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world avatar

What is the reason for these two things to get grouped up and shoved down my feed? I’m a life long and very public activist for medical financial aid programs, public housing, secual wellness, free kindergarten, hot meals, direct aid, take back the night, ada accomodations, needle exchanges, loan forgiveness, and just about every humane cause I know of. My viewing history is about as antithetical to Tate’s small dick energy and the anime I watch is more likely to be weird surreal stuff like Tengoku Daimakyou than some 50th year of dragon Ball

How does my feed switch from normal shorts to the incel only feed?!

fadedmaster ,
@fadedmaster@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wish I knew what I was doing because I very rarely get that stuff, unless I go to Shorts. Then that crap shows up in both the Shorts and my recommendations. After ignoring them for a couple days they go away and stay away as long as I also avoid Shorts… So maybe that’s the key?

lightnsfw ,

At best it’s because there’s just a shitload of other people that are into that stuff no matter what else they’re watching so everything ends up associated with it. At worst Youtube specifically funnels people to that kind of content.

Catoblepas ,

I’ve found that being really aggressive with my not interested/do not recommends keeps it down (but not absent). In my case I assume they pop up because I like watching history and gaming videos, even though I go out of my way to avoid anyone who’s dog whistle-y or chuddy.

peopleproblems ,

Most of my browser history, youtube and podcast recommendations etc. are benign.

My fear is when they ask the question “when does VR Porn become cheating?” Because I don’t think anyone can answer that one honestly and the way one would expect.

Like my brain would say “when you can smell it” but that leads down a lot of other questions that scare me.

johny ,

A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.

Good point. I would have had to be there to see what the mood was like. She could have been funny as hell, and I’m just not picking it up from this tweet.

My red flag would be telling her “fuck off creepy stranger”

PhlubbaDubba ,

Not even the wackiest scenario he’s done.

Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.

Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.

Varyk ,

Nah he’s a bird,he could fly on outta there. A little singed, maybe, if he dawdled

baldingpudenda ,

Allegedly, he screamed “wildcard, bitches” before kicking the door and jumping out.

Varyk ,

Classic Big Bird

Socsa ,

So what you are saying is that we would have flying cars and free healthcare if Big Bird had died in the Space Shuttle?
