I watch a fair amount of the YouTube retro computing, electronics and car restoration channels, but because of the hate-crime that is the YouTube recommendation system, have turned off automatic play and shorts. Automatic play because it quickly gets you to the crazies, and shorts because I am not 14. If YouTube don’t learn to understand that “no” means “no” and not “maybe later” (you can just feel the mid-product-owner energy from that phrase), I too will cease using it. Whether I’ll entirely give up on the content is to be seen.
