bizarre, dismal

What’s bizarre and dismal is that someone is so starved for dopamine and attention from corporations that this is how they perceive what life looks like when you are not being targetted.

This is my normal view and it is far better.

This is not no-account YT, but no-cookies YT. If you are interested in experiencing this, some extensions automatically delete cookies for certain websites for you. I use Cookie AutoDelete

I’ve been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

Mine looks very similar to that intentionally. I sign in to see my subscribed channels and block the fuck out of all the bullshit.

THE JOY OF NOT BEING RECOMMENDED ANYTHING

Isn’t this better than trying to make it so that you never click off YouTube, the way it works if you are logged in? I would much rather have no recommendations than have an algorithm give me recommendations with the express purpose of maximising ad revenue extraction from me

Perfection!

I rather have strangers on forums recommending me stuff than their “algorithm”

Exurb1a is great btw (a lot of philosophy with a tiny sprinkle of… well you know… existential crisis 🫠)

Mentour Pilot for those who have an aircraft obsession

Ted-Ed for a lot of various historical, science, even political, educational content.

In an internet full of advertising and distractions, it’s nice to see a landing page that lets me decide what I want to consume.

I see it whenever I go there.

I specifically disabled my watch history to get this. If I want to watch something, I’ll go to my subscriptions. Why would I want to interact with YouTube’s algorithm?

Also if you turn off your viewing history.

This is what our company one looks like. History disabled.

Imagine a memory care when you go to put on music you get recommendations for Meagan the stallion and lil boosie

It really makes you realize the slop being shoveled by the algorithm

Honestly, I like it. I run google and all of its platforms in their own tab containers, without signing in and that’s what my Youtube looks like. It’s great, I can search for the thing I need, and otherwise interact with google ad spam as little as possible

Get the extension “DeArrow” it replaces thumbnails with random frames from the video and let’s the community edit titles, and auto un-capitalizes titles.

Compared to seeing Mr.Beast clone 678-1080 taking up the front with jimmy Kimmel for some reason, Yea I’d rather see a blank page too.
