I realize this makes me sound very old. I am a very curious person and want to continously develop and adapt.

Some trends might not be improvements, but some might be.

I got you fam.

YouTube. I know. That's the millennial in me talking but I'm serious.

Don't use it how it's given to you. Don't click suggested videos, use Freetube or Newpipe.

Don't let "The Algorithm" tell you what's interesting, find it. Subscribe to it.

Build your feed by specifically finding and subscribing to channels you trust and care about.

Cultivate your interests. Surround yourself with the news, stories, and goofy nonsense that relate to your particular goals.

This is what I do. I can't use the internet like y'all do. I remember the old ways.

I can suggest channels if you're interested.
