  Nebula doesn’t have the reason crap I watch.

    This is what I found.

    With Nebula and CuriosityStream, most of the things I follow are still on YouTube.

    Might just be my account but YouTube algorithms got so sensitive I’m afraid to watch random crap, I watch like 1 video about a topic then for a week that’s all I get.

    But yeah it’s more for intentional viewing than watching random crap, but I saw that as a bonus feature as it led to me procrastinating less.

      This is a real problem… Like I’m afraid to watch certain things knowing full well I want it to be a one and done, but if I click on it LITERALLY EVERY OTHER RECOMMENDATION IS A DUPLICATE OF THE RANDOM VIDEO for days or until I start interacting with it to stop seeing them.

      Like WTAF, I should have to manage my feed that hard. Maybe if I watch 3 or 5 videos of the same topic or from the same creator you can start recommending them.

      But even then, 3-5 watches of a rabbit hole one random Tuesday does not mean I’m suddenly interested in fishing for the rest of my life !

      lol I have no idea if it works, but if I watch a random video, I delete it from the watch history because I fear that if I don’t, the algo will go bonkers. So far it seems to work though lol
