    I’m am so strict about what I watch on my yt account. Anything that is just a one off for curiosity or that I think will destroy my front page gets opened in a private browser or 3rd party app.

    Fwiw, you can delete videos from your viewing history to theoretically fix it.

      This is the way to be. Any time I see someone else’s feed in YT I almost always cringe in horror at what they’re being force fed. Curate your algorithms folks!

      Yeah i do this. I browse front page for any recommendation and if it’s a shitty clickbait or something from a search or lemmy that i don’t wanna get flooded with, i delete that video. Then it won’t recommend you that sort of video.

      You gotta control the algorithm and make it works for you.
