    Actually watching only what you search for or are subscribed to is a great way to stop wasting your time on stupid shorts you used to watch for hours a day (at least for me)

    Plus I don’t want an algorithm to feed me stupid things it thinks I would like, that’s what leads to polarization and countless other negative aspects in social media

    Also I suggest to everyone readinh to watch “The social dilemma” a masterpiece that exposes these problems

        When I mentioned the algorithm I meant it was too good at understanding what you like and that leads to polarization

        You just said you trained it in your own way but you were still using it thus getting polarized just like other people

        What I was suggesting is to completely avoid it and just watch what you search and or are subscribed to
