Great video, thanks for posting! This guy articulated a lot of thoughts about algorithmic recommendations that I’ve never been quite able to form into coherent thoughts myself. I definitely understand why I decided to go all in with the fediverse or social web half a decade ago or so now.

Yeah what of the things that led me to using YouTube logged out was a small thing like getting bunch of video game spoilers if I viewed some videos of a game I was interested in or needed a walk through or tip on.

I don’t use YouTube “main” page. Only watch it from “subscriptions” page and uBlock’ed the recommendation column completely. This way I only see videos I want to watch.

Another reason I prefer stuff like newpipe and its forks and freetube on desktop is to be able to access my subscription feed with a local one to reduce YouTube account use as much as possible.
