I had to do a certain type of troubleshooting/repair on my auto sprinkler system this morning. Instead of clicking on my "EweTube" bookmark, I did a search in Safari for "YouTube", and clicked on the correct link, so that I wasn't "logged in"; I did this so that my feed wouldn't be completely flooded with sprinkler Mx videos for the next 6 weeks. Found the info I needed in about 8 minutes.
Well, EweTube knew it was me, and tonight my feed is completely flooded with sprinkler Mx videos; dangit! I assume YT plants a cookie or something.
Does anyone know of a technique, or an app, that allows me to search for specific info on EweTube on a one-time basis, and not wave a huge flag in the face of the Al Gore Rhythm? (I don't use a VPN nor want to just yet) Much appreciated (and the question could apply to other search engines, too).
To "pay it forward", I'll leave this: The Al Gore Rhythm has always decided that a very specific subject would be of interest to me, and its not. A few years ago it decided I needed a bunch of info on aquarium pumps (I don't have an aquarium) and I hit the ellipses (...) and clicked "Don't recommend channel". It seems the Al Gore Rhythm decides, "Oh, he doesn't like that channel; instead lets recommend these other 47 channels with aquarium pump info, maybe he'll like them!" Gah! Then it decided I wanted videos about a cheating quarterback some call "GOAT" but I can't stand; and again, hit "Don't recommend channel", I then get flooded with videos about that jerk. Last year I finally clicked on "Not interested", and that seems to work! So, if you're frustrated with YT's force-feeding you info you don't want, give that a try (and if it works for you, let us know).
