Somehow I've managed to avoid most political/argumentative content on YouTube and this solution wouldn't make sense for me.
Would I get videos about how bikes suck?
What people who complain about "filter bubbles" mean is that they're sad that traditional media's hold over what people watch is weakening but that's a good thing. I don't need more people telling me that "orange man bad".
- iforgotpassword 6y agoI wouldn't strictly limit the term filter bubble to politics here. Sometimes its just "whoa that stuff exists!" moments. Unless YouTube decides to let some video/channel go viral, you'll never get recommended stuff that isn't very similar to the last couple videos you watched. All the cool stuff that isn't related to IT stuff or retro computing I've found through comments on hn or elsewhere. Like that guy that restores matchbox cars, or the other one who builds dioramas.
