This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Stopped reading after "if it's promoted by YT it's not worth watching", that shit is based on your recently watched channels if your account settings aren't all fucked up.
If you turn off history - yeah, you'll get default recommendations and those are cancer. Probably the only good reason to turn history on. Even then, it's a bandaid on a horrible UI that gets worse every update.
I use YT in the weirdest way possible. I'm not subscribed to anyone and my feed and recommendations do all the lifting. It works really well for my needs. I hardly ever see shit i'm absolutely not interested in, and i find new thimgs that i am interested in. But when it logged me out and i saw the default youtube recommendations... Holy shit that is some nightmare shit. It's just absolute clickbait ass content for children or tiktok adults.
You got lucky. In Germany it's just right wing propaganda. It's awful.
Man... you look at one cool VW or tank video, and it instantly assumes you are a hardcore nazi. The fuck is happening there. This is why we lose to the right wingers.
