      Even the algorithm shows new stuff sometimes just to see if it sticks. I get makeup and hair videos occasionally even though I’m male in late 30s that never showed any interest in such things.

        Yeah… my youtube throws them into the shorts every now and then. It’s just fucking annoying. You’re youtube, they’re not even going to show anything anyway stick to the shit I actually click on.

          A better way to use Youtube is to turn off watch history, and use Subscriptions as your homepage. Youtube taught me this a while back when they turned off my watch history and then insisted I signed into it to use it.

          Better than that is Freetube with an extension that opens browser links in Freetube.
