Ever tried looking at youtube while in incognito mode? What's popular is a hellscape of lowbrow garbage that makes reality tv look downright erudite. I still like the site when it shows me all the channels I've curated, but otherwise, goddamn...
I've been thinking of switching to Invidious or something and using youtube primarily via subscriptions. I'm kind of getting sick of the whole 'recommended' frontpage thing.
My god, it’s 50% movie/TV ads. The rest is clickbait with thumbnails for idiots.
Wow. I thought the frontpage was bad back when I made a choice to consciously curate years ago, but I had no idea this is what it turned into.
