I genuinely don't know how a potential date would react to this lol

Hope she likes Pete Seeger, bread tube, and educational videos, because if she doesn’t I can do better

Holy shit it's mine too 😭

My youtube recs would mostly just out me as a huge fucking nerd who's into cooking, I think it may be a rare W.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Same, got cooking vids, gaming, anime, Manga, and leather working vids.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

You giant nerd, you. :)

Not so much manga and anime on my youtube, even though I'm also a bit of a weeb.

That flag has no color. It's a gigantic question mark somehow devoid of everything but the question.

what do you mean "again"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Gonna assume that's music and not a "how to"

Hypothetical:

The app isn't installed on my phone so they go to browser instead, page takes a moment to load because of VPN, YT either asks to log in or it asks to turn on watch history in order to get recommendations.

I know from the get-go I'm either getting rated really really highly or really low, or that the reviewer will be dumbfounded. What do you think?

I got an email from Youtube about 11 years ago that simply said: "the algorithm has abandoned you."

And now whenever I go there all I get is a weird orange and green moire pattern.

Teach us how to escape the matrix like you did.

My YT recommendations are full of game lore and Warhammer 40K. I don't care about either, but Youtube really, really wants me to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

There's just so much 40k content out there. If you so much as dip your toe into it, your feed gets invaded.

So he's a keeper, then

My recommended videos are drain cleaning, lawn maintenance, wood turning, science, and meme stuff like Stephen He.

Other than the meme stuff, I imagine the girl would get the wrong idea about both my approach to chores and my scientific background.

Drain Cleaning Australia GOAT

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

RIPPER! You may not believe me when I say it folks, but there's NOWHERE I'd rather be than right here, clearing this drain with you.

Joke's on them; I disabled history a long time ago, so YouTube can't recommend things to me now.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hello, fellow "fuck you and your privacy settings" homepage enjoyer.

Seriously though, it makes me quite irrationally angry that they still have this shitty passive aggressive message on the homepage years after. Just give me my subscriptions feed instead ffs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lol yeah, "Recommendations not looking right to you? Turn on history for better ones!" Uh, no, I'd rather see more videos related to what I'm currently watching and not have my feed full of videos related to something I had a passing interest in in the past. If I want to go back on an old dive, I can use the search function.

Any mechanism you use to increase my engagement is attempting to monopolize my time for your profit (well, joke's on you, my ad blocker still works and I'll just stop using YouTube if you do manage to "force" me to watch ads).

NewPipe on the phone and smartube on the TV.

Jokes on her, I disabled YouTube Recommendations

Little Joel is kind of a short stack, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

So did she hit or pass
