You're using YouTube wrong. You're supposed to set your default page to the subscriptions page.

Pause your YouTube watch and search history. It makes a world of a difference.
I like videos I care about and want to see more of. Watching a single junk video (in theory) doesn't ruin my feed.
Ha! I made this mistake when looking for a morning joe video to use to make fun of my hardcore right wing friend. Now all I see is those shit heads on my algo.
YT assumes you're always binge-watching. Which people often are apparently.
Just use your subscription tab, like we did in the olden days.
At least those are videos of a real videogame.
I find it incredibly insulting how my algorithm is always giving me ads and thinly veiled ads for predatory casinos wearing the mutilated echos of popcap games (pre EA). It equally insults my intelligence and the artistry that actually earns the prestige of successful, critically acclaimed games, and it is a disgusting, pathetic way to earn a living.
I got way better due to them tho 😅
I remember when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls was randomly playing in my head so I decided to listen to it. YouTube took that as me finding a new favourite band. I mostly listen to industrial metal.
I totally feel you but for a different reason. I played Balatro for a few days and literally the only thing Steam recommended to me for over a month was just card based rogue-like games.
Also I recommend the one by RTGame. Probably my favorite streamer. He's Irish so I never catch the streams but the YouTube videos are great.
Did you know they called him the Balatro King in the college?
not using dark mode in current year
You deserve this
Why do dark mode users don't understand we dynamic/scheduled mode users exist 🥺
Say his name and he appears! I believe in ~~Joe Hendry~~ Balatro!
I don't know who this Baletro guy is, but daaaaaaamn. He owns your youtube.
It's John Balatro, he play his card well.
So...am I the only one who only uses the "Subscriptions" section? It has been years since I went the YouTube homepage.
pony on the front, lol
it's coming it's real
I have been watching YouTube basically since they started. Despite having over 1000 subscriptions and an ungodly amount of watch hours if I watch a SINGLE video that's outside my usual wheelhouse my recommendation page will be tainted for like a week trying to get me to watch more of whateber thing I dared venture into.
