Are you sure you are not three kids in a trench coat?

I know for a fact that the algorithm retains data about your viewing preferences even after deleting watch history. After deleting mine it would still occasionally recommend something I've seen before and can pretty easily corral me back into whatever direction I had previously gone in. After having done this many times the videos became more random, so I think it keeps a few data points to "jump start" your viewing experience but they gradually change. If you reset your history and view as many random new videos as you can, rinse and repeat, they eventually use those those as starting points.

Maybe, maybe not. I recently watched a mini-documentary featuring N64 Tetris tournaments at CTWC (The First Perfect Game of Tetris Just Happened) - this story is of a professional Tetris player who "beat" the game in 2023, aged 13.

Makes sense, as all services I've encountered that mention age in regards to data collecting imply that it's illegal to harvest those under 13. Mobile games and other services would not harvest data if you state your age as well below 13, but the increasingly vast majority just say "we will be harvesting you; by clicking this button or making an account you confirm that you are over 13 years of age.." Because, you know, real child protection laws are in effect.

Ok so it's sometimes right.

Probably possible to have something like a Selenium or whatever the kids use to automate Web browsers these days Python script that automatically builds a credible viewing history that looks like an adult's.

interestingly, when i delete the my history, after watching one video yt repopulates the recommendations almost exactly as it were a few minutes ago. it isn't even trying

There are many reasons why mentally mature people also find an interest in content designed for immature minds. The first of which that I can list, in regards to bronies and pegasisters being fans of My Little Pony, especially Generation 4, is:

1. That kids shows are chock full of moral lessons that everyone can benefit from.
2. MLP may have more compelling drama plots per episode compared to 'adult' soap operas.
3. The desire for a fantastical escape from a world that's becoming increasingly negative.
4. Psychologically I suspect the characters or settings were very relatable, perhaps in terms of innate desire to:

• Fit in (Twilight)
• Be happier and less depressed (Pinkie)
• Be useful to society/have a loving family (Applejack)
• Be peaceful/coexist with animals (Fluttershy)
• Be popular/cool/more confident (Rainbow)
• Have self-pride/be helpful to friends (Rarity)

5. The fantastical idea that conflicts can be solved with love, not war.
6. Many animations are often designed with references or jokes that only adults would know, and keep them entertained. For example, how many children would recognise Dashie's morning wing-boner as anything of note, or that one episode was a parody of Murder on the Orient Express?

Either way, something relatively unique and wonderful happened with MLP:FiM.

Care to share the channels? Sounds interesting.

I just got off work at the business factory. I did three businesses today!

Finish the session off by searching for arthritis

Found it!

Maybe some finance, home repair, defense economics.

Finally, I can just watch 50 hours of N64 emulation nerd shit to gain access to the softcore porn I also wanted to watch, after this next N64 video

I can’t tell if this is worse for bronies or MLP loving children.

Either way, I expect something newsworthy to come from this.

Googles knows a LOT more about you than what you watch on YouTube.

"will start"

Judging by the comments here I'm getting the impression that people would like to rather provide a selfie or ID.

So I just have to gain a brain rot addiction to regain my youth? When asked how this twelve year old managed to create a YouTube account 20 years ago, YouTube replied, "he's very clever."

Yea and they will know a lot more soon since i will buy the samsung project moohan VR headset that runs android XR. Google will become my eyes with the passthrough and they advertise the headset for AI use that can see everything i see... i'm not sure if i will turn that off right away or try to use it for some stuff. Right now i'm using a meta quest pro to work and do a lot of daily stuff so it's a question of meta or google for me and i decided to get out of meta's not so great VR hardware.

Adults arent watching cocomelon or aphmau
