Tldw on solution is don’t interact with low effort content or rage bait, interact a lot with well crafted human content, unfollow or mute accounts that post low effort content, use the “show me less of this” or “not interested” on low effort content, and don’t use “for you” pages only look at content you chose to follow.

    What’s the point in curating the algorithm to your needs if you’re not going to use the “for you” page? If you only look at content you chose to follow then you’re not beholden to the algorithm at all, right? Seems counterintuitive.

    What I've been doing on YouTube for years. My YouTube algorithm keeps showing me unlimited stuff I want to watch and my Watch Later list is growing like a runaway train 😅

    Yeah I don't even sign in, so I don't give it a chance to show me much other than what it gets from video association and profile fingerprinting.* I just bookmark videos that people post around and save them to a "TBW" folder

    *which is actually so obvious because it's like suggesting a video about 90s Doom wads on a video about mp3Tag? Google, have you been spying on me? They just can't help themselves, they want my engagement.
