How do you not know what cookies are and what they do to your browsing experience in 2025?YouTube recommendations have turned into money brain retard fuel
Wtf is this crap? Go into incognito mode and do a ‘fresh’ YouTube without recommendations. 100% half naked people, prison videos, tough hurr dir man gets revenge videos. Brain rot for 52 year old India man. “CHECK OUT DA GURL SHE SAID HE WIZ UGLY DEN HE PUL UP IN DA LAMBO AND SHE GOT SAD!” The CIA won. We r cooked
Everyone in this thread has to screencap the default YouTube incognito page so they see what I’m talking about
If you go to YouTube on a clean/reset browser, in incognito mode, in which case you won't be signed into any Google account, then finally deny all permissions to YouTube when prompted, which it uses to to track your viewing history in order to customize your feed, then there is no homepage. It offers no recommendations. It's blank. You have to go to the sections for there to be any video thumbnails populated (ex. Trending, Music, Movies, Gaming, etc.)
Even then, it's variable what you see. It depends on the IP address you share with it. So, for example, if you use a VPN to change your country, in the "Sports" section, the feed will recommend less NBA/NFL and more soccer if you spoof yourself to be accessing the site from Europe or South America than if you show a North American address.
