chimerical@toast.oootoTechnology@beehaw.org•YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on
4·
1 year agoI don’t have my watch history turned on but everything on my home page is related in some way to my subscriptions and it’s annoying as fuck because it makes it difficult to discover new areas of interest. It’s even worse if I log out because all I get is twenty something year olds shouting at the camera like 12 year olds in full HDR+++++. YouTube should be looking at broadening peoples interests rather than narrowing them. When they jam your homepage with similar crap to the crap you’ve been watching for god knows how long the whole experience starts to become stale.
Any of the closed source ones I’ve used left me in an infinite loop where I’d get so far and end up back at the flicking through profiles stage. Maybe with open source I could figure out the problem.
