    My youtube algorithm

    Why are you deliberately living in a bubble that shows you what you want to hear? Like I have a cousin convinced for years that either the US or China is >6 months from total economic collapse, because that’s their algo is showing them reinforcing narratives they want to hear.

      Using youtube logged out gives you the general algorithm filled with crap I would never consider watching, at least mine’s curated. It gave me a little too much hope in Kamala but it’s not like I fought any less hard for her. I aggressively cull my feed and it’s pretty much just the creators I subscribe to. If I want “discovery” I filter reddit by youtu.be or youtube.com.

        I like browsing anonymously, navigating directly to channels I enjoy because I get the general crap that can be easilly ignored at a glance, rather than potentially fringe products of an echo chamber slowly and sneakily creeping into my feed without my realization. I’m paranoid of the slow boil, you know? Different strokes.
