I like random stuff...

I couldn't get the Facebook link to work the other day, so I looked it up on Youtube. I watched it there.

Now YouTube seems to think I want to see every video featuring a fat, black, bearded man. Don't matter if they're on strike from Frito-Lay, won a big lottery, or whatever. Apparently, if they're bearded, black and fat, I need to be watching their video. I've had about 7 or 8 different videos suggested to me since I watched that on Friday. 🤷‍♂️
YouTube’s “algorithm” is racist…

I never go to YT expecting to get neat advice from them about what to watch. When I get to YT, the first thing I do is hit that search box for a particular thing. I never really notice their recommendations, and have mostly broken the click-chain habit that can end up consuming many lost hours in just a few minutes.

I guess I must be doing it wrong. I grew up in the wrong era.

Me too on the search, watch and bail. Otherwise I'd never finish all the books on my XR and back of the couch.

Same here. Youtube is for videos on how to fix things or to watch a company's video about a product. Go straight to the search bar and skip the rest.
