This is what our company one looks like. History disabled.

Imagine a memory care when you go to put on music you get recommendations for Meagan the stallion and lil boosie

It really makes you realize the slop being shoveled by the algorithm

Also if you turn off your viewing history.

Same Ada.

I'd rather see nothing than the slop the algorithm keeps plastering across my screen. (Though I do like the topic buttons at the top.)

I specifically disabled my watch history to get this. If I want to watch something, I'll go to my subscriptions. Why would I want to interact with YouTube's algorithm?

I see it whenever I go there.

In an internet full of advertising and distractions, it's nice to see a landing page that lets me decide what I want to consume.

Perfection!

I rather have strangers on forums recommending me stuff than their "algorithm"

Exurb1a is great btw (a lot of philosophy with a tiny sprinkle of.. well you know... existential crisis 🫠)

Mentour Pilot for those who have an aircraft obsession

Ted-Ed for a lot of various historical, science, even political, educational content.

Isn't this better than trying to make it so that you never click off YouTube, the way it works if you are logged in? I would much rather have no recommendations than have an algorithm give me recommendations with the express purpose of maximising ad revenue extraction from me

THE JOY OF NOT BEING RECOMMENDED ANYTHING

Mine looks very similar to that intentionally. I sign in to see my subscribed channels and block the fuck out of all the bullshit.

I've been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

This is not no-account YT, but no-cookies YT. If you are interested in experiencing this, some extensions automatically delete cookies for certain websites for you. I use Cookie AutoDelete

I do miss the Mr. animal slop, clickbait nonsense with hundreds of millions of views, and occasional original content

bizarre, dismal

What's bizarre and dismal is that someone is so starved for dopamine and attention from corporations that this is how they perceive what life looks like when you are not being targetted.

This is my normal view and it is far better.
