Welcome to Youtube, person who has never been to Youtube before. Here’s what we have to offer:
🥹 it’s so clean and beautiful
You too can get his by disabling history
In fact if you disable history it will refuse to show you things even after you search something.
On the home screen yes, but you do still get search results.
Yes, that’s what I meant. The home screen will just continue to inform you that your history is off. You can only sign out or browse your subscriptions.
I see no problem with this, what with all the recommended slop
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I love my reccomended videos. I just watched a video about the reasons so many old subway stations use tile on the walls.
Spoiler alert, it’s because in the early 19th century these stations were poorly lit, and white tile reflects light. So it made a small amount of light act as a bigger source of light. Plus it doesn’t degrade and break down like paint or wood does over time.
Just one example of something that I would have never even wondered, but now I watched an interesting video explaining it. There was more to it than that, but I’m not going to go point by point of the video.
Compared to seeing Mr.Beast clone 678-1080 taking up the front with jimmy Kimmel for some reason, Yea I’d rather see a blank page too.
Your title makes this sound like a bad thing, but this looks like it would probably be preferable over being shown whatever YouTube wants you to see.
no ads no algorithm no preset slop machine
a gentle reminder to use my own decisions in what to search and watch
true zen
Honestly, I like it. I run google and all of its platforms in their own tab containers, without signing in and that’s what my Youtube looks like. It’s great, I can search for the thing I need, and otherwise interact with google ad spam as little as possible
Perfection!
I rather have strangers on forums recommending me stuff than their “algorithm”
Exurb1a is great btw (a lot of philosophy with a tiny sprinkle of… well you know… existential crisis 🫠)
Mentour Pilot for those who have an aircraft obsession
Ted-Ed for a lot of various historical, science, even political, educational content.
I’ve been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.
I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.
I just get a notification stating I don’t allow them to track me so they have no garbage to stuff down my throat
I actually like this. No politics. No big name personalities. No distractions.
Just a search bar to ASK me what I want to see before it tells me what it thinks I want to see.
THE JOY OF NOT BEING RECOMMENDED ANYTHING
Tried this on a private window, and yes, that’s what it looks like. Thought I’d click on Shorts and let the first 3 seconds of the opening auto-play video play. Then back to the home page and wow, full of absolute trash.
Holy shit it works, and transforms the front page into an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE
