It has “hot” but I don’t think the feed is personalized.

The brain rotted mind doesn’t understand the lack of an infinite pit of o-face reaction videos to pick from.

Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.

And subscriptions using RSS feeds instead of a YouTube account.

Guilty.

Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

I actually got a date once by saying I had 10 laptop computers and no Facebook account. Not a good match in other regards, but the person was cool about privacy.

as far as i care, having social media makes you more likely to be insane, because of the aggressive amount of influence that these sites and applications hold over people.

I find avoiding social media helps reduce encounters with the insane side of people who somehow appear to be relatively normal in real life.

For instance, I actually like my inlaws in real life, despite having some very different views than they do. On Facebook however, they’re complete fucking idiots that I wouldn’t give the time of day because they would just argue with me about it.

I’ve had the opposite response. Generally I get a “good on ya, I should really delete it too”
