As someone who is constantly on YouTube and has been since the pre-Google era, their algorithm is ~~shit~~ now. It keeps giving me the same crap over and over and even though I click Not Interested, I continue to get things I don't want to see. WTF
"Shorts" and "Games" are like herpes. No matter how many times you try to get rid of them, they just keep appearing.
I do not want short form video, nor do I want to participate in "gaming" that is just poker machines reskinned as a "game" to take your money.
The "not interested" button, it does nothing!
I made a filter in ublock origin. Haven't seen shorts in forever and I didn't even realize they were trying to peddle 'games' now
