>But… I can tell you that there’s some weird recommendation right now that if you are the least bit unhappy, or have the slightest bit of FOMO, or have been slighted in the tiniest of ways… “that you must quit”. Yeah I have also found th

It depends (a little bit) on your age, and (a lot) on your desire to learn or do more. You might be hitting a point where you are getting bored, sick of not learning anything new in your current position, and this may be the biggest motivat

This completely worked for me (for now) with uBlock Origin in Firefox on Linux. Thanks again! Much appreciated!

This is the worst! I'm using Linux and Windows so its Ctrl, but the same thing happens... Surely this is a bug they will fix.

I see you getting downvoted for this, but I don't see anything you said that is incorrect. Sure, the way that you use the platform may not be practical for 99.9% of people, but it doesn't make it any less valid.

I don't have a Alphabet or Google or YouTube account, and I greatly dislike the company, but I will say that their recommendations are usually pretty good.

The bottom line must grow every quarter, or the shareholders will not be happy! (edit: I hate it!)

Thanks! Where are you applying these rules? uBlock Origin? or will this just work with any adblocker type thing?

Thanks! I appreciate this! Does it use the same recommendation algorithm? I don't have a YouTube account but (sadly) do still watch a lot of the recommended videos

Excellent comment. I can't downvote you, but I'm sure at least 4 others will.

Thank you! This is also a great response! Now I'm wondering how they measure magnetic fields. But of course I'm sure there's about a million youtube videos explaining that. >Magnetic fields tend to slow the gas collapsing,

Thank you, kjeetgill, for understanding my ignorance and line of questioning.

Hmm, okay, I think I understand. For the record, the 'sounds dubious' comment was directed at the claim that we know the "exact" age of the moon. It is more a criticism of shoddy journalism than a statement of my knowled

I feel that after this comment, and it's parent, and it's parent's parent, I should address the topic. No, I am not the smartest person here. I understand that. A few days ago I asked a question and people told me to get more

This led me to thinking, how do we determine the age of the sun? I would have thought some radio spectrometry, but according to NASA[0]: >We look at the age of the whole solar system, because it all came together around the same time. &g

Well, I can't downvote you, as you know, nor would I if I had the ability, (nor have you had any downvotes yet from what I can tell) but I feel like they are coming. But, hey, internet points, who cares... right? There is a groupthink
