        And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that’s supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!

          His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he’s still… I have no idea. I don’t know anyone who watches him. It can’t just be kids.

            You underestimate kids and their amount free time.

            Roblox has completed its long-awaited direct listing on the NYSE, with shares closing at $69.47 for a fully diluted value of $45.3 billion—a gargantuan valuation for a video game company that rose to prominence and saw massive growth during the pandemic

            Why exactly can’t it just be kids?

        I don’t watch him or any top YouTubers, but many other clickbait thumbnails are far worse and more annoying with their shocked “YouTube face”…

      I like how they actually removed suggestions on the home page on the first time you visit logged out. I never click on anything on the home page suggestions and most of the stuff there is garbage, so it’s actually refreshing just to see a blank home page.

        This is how I use. At least any rabbit hole is started by me.

      It’s still garbage, but you’re 100% correct about it being 1000x worse logged out, at least it’s like that for me.

      I started getting a shitload of recommended videos based off an app I played for 5 minutes and deleted.

      I never looked it up on youtube or google, and I didn’t even search for it in the play store, I just saw it listed as similar to a different game that I did look up.

      And after a week of constantly telling them to stop recommending me these videos because I don’t like them, I’m still seeing them.

      Again, played the app for a few minutes and deleted, have now spent more time telling youtube to stop showing it to me than I spent playing.

      They don’t show any recommendations when you’re logged out

        Google does a fair amount of data gathering even if you don’t log in. I think it does it through cookies, fingerprinting or browser inspection

        If I use a session long enough it will start to change to my actual taste

        If your tastes are anything except the average population’s, you will have little to no interest in the homepage suggestions.

            There must be separate cookies for when you’re logged out or something, because as someone who is always logged in, logging out completely changes the suggestions.
