How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?
She's almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she's anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I'm trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.
You're viewing a single thread.
Switch her to FreeTube on desktop. Can still subscribe to keep a list of channels she likes, but won't get the YouTube algorithm recommendations on the home page.
For mobile something like newpipe for the same algorithm removed experience.
I love FreeTube but sometimes I just can't get videos to play. Or they take forever to play because I have to pause for buffering. Still better than the actual site but still can be frustrating.
It changes instances every time it loads from what I understand. Having it not change might help in that area.
Ahhh that's makes sense.
