Best YT experience is to clear cookies then open a lot of YT links from HN, but when our human nature drives us watching a stupid video or two from YT recommendation then after that session do clearing cookies and open YT links from HN again.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoYou can delete individual videos from your watch history in the history tab to remove them from recommendation basis. Unlike the “Don’t show me videos like this” button, it works well.
- dredmorbius 4y agoUsing YT via Incognito or Firefox containers, with frequently-cleared cookies, and using search as a primary discovery method ... works OK... It's not great, but it's not terrible. The recency bias means that whatever terms you're searching become prevalent for that session. It's not possible to dismiss items or channels (idiotic on YT's part IMO), but you can at least create a short-lived preference instance unpolluted by any previous explorations.
