i found out a conspiracy that no one notices or believes.
my youtube homepage is littered with booba thumbnail bait.
its fucking unusable at this point
the only thing that could have done that is me watching a couple of "churdleys" videos which are booba bait humor.

but get this...i regularly search for "grout repair" "bathroom repair" "grout sealer" all kinds of videos. i listen to cumtown, opie and anthony. why am i not getting these types of videos reccomended? or other comedians?

my homepage contains 0% of what i regularly watch and search for. but contains 100% brainrot random tiktok and popcorn content, titty streamers and BOOBS on every scroll.

i realized since i downloaded my favorite podcasts as OPUS i havent been using youtube for background noise...so youtube MUST KNOW that ive found a way to listen to something else offline, so now they are saying one final fuck you and littering my homepage with brainrot porn.
>>
my youtube homepage is full of videos similar to the content I have recently watched
>>
looks like you cooked your own algo bud. mines fine
>>
My feed is all cars, retro gaming, music, electronics. Youtube algorithms build your feed from google searches and other sources.
>>
>watch garbage
>get recommended more garbage

Who could have foreseen such an outcome? Unironic skill issue.
>>
so i realized... this popcorn brainrotting is ON PURPOSE, it is deliberate. its not just boob bait working the algorithm. it is specifically fed to me. watching a few "churdleys" videos is not enough to trigger this.
they want me to waste my time and rot my brain watching normie shit....because they know i am smart enough and i have downloaded podcasts to not have to use youtube anymore.

so they are doing everything they can.....to fuck with me

OBJECTION RETARDS:
why is my feed not full of grouting and bathroom repair videos?
why is my feed not full of (specific porn) or redpill content?

because its deliberate.
only prooves that it doesnt happen to you, but to me
>>
>>103237323
is it a new account? those videos in OP all look like high views and high click rate. maybe the algo doesn't have a clear enough picture of you yet. my feed is a combo of mid-high viewership but also low views <10k.
>>
>>103237323
Ok, schizo.
>>
>>103237323
It probably doesn't categorize those videos well and just dumps them all into some general "repairs" category

You probably used your gmail account to sign up to Pornhub and shit like that. I only ever use my google account for youtube and get recommendations based on previous stuff I've watched. Hell like a half of the videos are just stuff I've watched before or stuff from my subscription list.

Kind of wish I got some coomer bait. At most I get some of those "I build an off grind cabin" and the thumbnails are all some chick showing off her ass in tight leggings.

All I watch on Youtube is techtubers and cookery videos, and that's 90% of what the algo serves up to me

year of the lord 2024 using YouTube logged in.

YouTube -> without account. Firefox ->delete history and cookies after closing, ublock origin,

Bookmark Toolbar has X folders called YT1, YT2, YT3 etc.
All interesting channels i would like to subscribe go into these folders. sorted by how often they upload.
https://www.youtube.com/c/ProjectFarm/videos which does 4-5 videos a month goes in YT1.
YT2 is 2 videos a month. but i am not strict about that less interesting channels also go to higher numbers.
one folder for channels like Isaac Dinardo (pretty sure he is dead) last video 5 years ago.

YT1, YT2 YT3 i open every, day right click on folder -> open all 10-15 bookmarks ->quickly click through the /videos page. the higher numbers slower youtubers i open less often or if i find nothing interesting on the first folders.

I have been doing this since about 5 years. YT shows pic rel on entering it first. i have no problems yet with YouTube trying to fuck with me for using an ad blocker.
>>
>>103237261
You're a coomer and YouTube knows it. Try watching non-boba content for a day and your feed will reflect it. Retard.

>>103240943
It's not that the internet is "dead," in that literally everything you see is a bot. It's more that the mainstream internet has become so algorithmic that almost no meaningful change is possible on it.
>>
>>103237261

This is how you browse youtube:

Step 1. Never sign in
Step 2. Clear history/cookies a lot, always reject youtube/google when it asks you so you have a blank home page
Step 3. Use uBlock Origin on Firefox and right click > Block element, the whole sidebar of suggested videos

Now you only watch what you search for.
No more shitty recommendations.
No more endless video after video.
No more homepage/sidebar filled with booba clickbait.
>>
>>103241154
yeah, but when listening to music I've discovered many good things from the recommendations,
and I don't mean popular artists with millions+ views,
I mean obscure 1000 views indies,
youtube is great for music

look, i have a youtube account because i make redpill videos.
if i was watching porn i wouldnt complain like an idiot that i am getting porn.

this is happening on purpose. i am getting brain rot content targeted on purpose.
i would remember if i was browsing porn or clicking porn videos.

this happened exclusively the last 2 days when youtube noticed i wasnt using it as much, because i downloaded podcasts and used VLC

You can sign in just fine and disable watch history, then do
ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer {
opacity: 2%;
}
ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer:hover {
opacity: 100%;
}

in case you ever actually want to look at related videos.
Youtube HATES when you disable watch history but won't try to bullshit you, for now. Even cookies are ignored.

Also why the fuck would anyone even use the "home page".
>>
>>103245939
of course it does, retard.
incognito is entirely client side. its only purpose is to hide what you do to other people who use the same computer.
the website still knows what IP you're coming from along with a thousand different little settings they used for fingerprinting. the only effect incognito might have is deleting your cookies at the end of the session, but cookies only 1 part of how websites identify users.

you're deliberately brainrotting yourself. algorithm reflects your interests. pay attention to what you want to see and you will see more of it. instagram's explore is a good way to practice this because there are a lot of distractions and when you consciously choose to look at different stuff instagram quickly changes your feed accordingly. if you mindlessly scroll you will obviously see a lot of sluts as a guy. that's just means your testosterone is at good levels.

This is actually untrue. It's something that's been tried, but regular cookies are still the most reliable method besides a dedicated app or the browser itself. It's not reliable to track a profile of someone otherwise. IP based profiles are a close second, but most consumers either live in an apartment or with family where it's impossible to tell who is using a device and when. People signed into accounts on one device only they use are one thing, but most clients their servers connect to aren't that.

Algorithm based abuse and manipulation is not even something new. Facebook was sued because the algo for people's feed was specifically putting out ragebait, targetting extreme and specifically negative emotions because they found it more "engaging".

>Anon if you eat shit your whole life and then some one serves you shit, don't get offended they saw you eating shit your whole life.
The problem with these modern algorithms is. If someone shits on the ground and you step on it without knowing, that shit is going to be stuck on you for life. Doesn't matter if it was a one time thing or a mistake or how much you clean your browsing history or letting family/friends use your wifi or account. That shit is stuck on you like a permanent record.

With the way they're handling these algorithms, you're pretty much going to have to start a new life just to clear your user profiles.

this is literally not true
a lot of creators i used to watch get taken out of my algorithm if i stop watching them, even if I'm subbed to them

The point of algorithms isn't to recommend the same people/groups but similar in "content". So of course those you block gets removed.
