YouTube's recommendations are actually pretty spot on, I've found.
Yeah honestly not sure why so many people have been complaining about them. They're pretty much always relevant to the content that I like watching.
Mine are totally fucked, but it is because I let my kid use my account sometimes and now YouTube just doesn't understand me as a person. It suggests stuff that neither of us want. But when I clear history and it just uses my subscriptions it is better.
Get your kid their own account.
He has one, but it is a child account which a couple of the people he watches aren't available. They are just game streamers and don't say or do anything I take issue with. So he often ends up on mine. I don't have another family spot to make another account for him and I have YouTube premium. So it is what it is. Means I don't end up wasting hours watching videos on YouTube because of a rabbit hole so there is that silver lining I suppose.
If you have Nazi content recommended on youtube then I've got some very bad news for you.
Yep. If you're getting recommended nazi stuff, you've been watching nazi stuff.
