Got tired of my yt-algo so I looked up how to delete my history, pretty easy actually. Hopefully whatever it re-learns about me doesn't send my down a pile of right wing kak. I'll need to watch a bunch of lindybeige and philosophy tube to refocus it on my interests.
Mine seems pretty easy to train. It didn't take much for it to start serving me up Jon Stewart, Robert Reich, Jesse Welles, Fairburn Films, retro comedy like Fast Forward and The D Generation and random stuff like this
I like hickok45 and forgotten weapons so I get every fucking gunfluencer with their stupid gun shows, like fuck off, I've got my two shows, I don't need more, leave me alone.
Fair enough. Just because you like one or two of a thing, doesn't mean you want 20 of them.
I felt all my YT became guns, knives, calisthenics, and lawn care rescue videos with a smattering of why women and immigration are ruining the world. The shows I like are because they're not hater content, I don't need to get the hater versions of those.
Basic I know, but search for stuff you're interested in. I get Aviation and Naval history, Some Marvel, whatever is going on at DashCams Australia, British Panel shows/Taskmaster and maybe some Star Wars/Trek stuff mostly.
What you don't click on matters as much as what you do. Oh, I always mark Shorts as "Not Interested", even if I would actually be interested. I despise short-form videos and would disable them entirely if I could. I can kill them for 30 days at a time on my iPad.
