finding random videos is fairly easy these researchers
are doing it the dumb brute-force way:
1.Block any famous accounts(1M+views):
these poison your recommendations.
2.Like only old and lowest-view videos.
3.Only click on lowest-viewcount videos that are not
marked as recent.
in a few days your home feed and recommendations will
consist of random low-ranked junk.
Then, start blocking the highest views channels
and repeat the 1.2.3. steps to get even more obscure content.
No need to scrape millions of IDs or flood the servers
with random requests.
