Comment on Australia to ban under-16s from YouTube

This law will just make the problem worse. It says that <16 won’t be able to have accounts. Not being logged into YouTube means you get the worst algorithm imaginable.

Nah Google will just do what they did to me and force you to login before you can watch anything.
Which fucking sucks because I used to watch YT logged out all the time so they I could see something new outside of my bubble.

My bubble is the only thing that makes YouTube watchable.
The few times I’ve opened it without signing in presented me with a shitshow of “viral” insane garbage of the lowest order. Usually a weird mix of right wing gun shit, influencer bullshit (women explaining shit while sitting in stupid poses to show off various body parts) and scam cures. The ads are even worse.

My bubble doesn’t have all the trash people bitch about yt for so I’m never leaving it.
