youtube is quietly becoming the weirdest streaming service
youtube is no longer just a website with videos. according to my watch history, it’s a streaming service assembled from television, obsolete consoles, drag queens, wrestling autopsies, and whatever question I developed four minutes ago.https://tacobout.online/2026/09/02/youtube-quietly-becoming-weirdest-streaming-service/

suddenly getting so sick of what’s being shown to me on #youtube, so i went to clear my #watchhistory and #searchhistory, hoping i will see wider selection of topics than i do these days.
You know what YouTube ... no thanks. I'd prefer to keep it this way. It seems rather therapeutic to me, for some reason, that my home screen is not filled with junk channel suggestions anymore ...
There’s a lot of content showing up explaining how to “fix” this. So far, they all tell you to turn on watch history.
No. I turned this off for a reason. I’m not turning it on to get “Home” recommendations.
