Mine is boring AF now. I guess I watched too many DIY table makings, too much golf swing tutorials, too many Joe Rogan type ‘watch this’ videos…it literally never scrolls to anything different. Is there a way to just reset it and start from scratch?

Go to settings and "clear search history".

Eta: Also delete "other activity".

I google lyrics to songs when I arrive at games way too early. That's where I get new music for the gym.

Then just create a new gmail and use that instead of your old youtube account.

Delete a significant portion of those videos in your watch history.

I’d like to reset my Instagram algorithm so if anyone knows how to do that, I’d appreciate the info. Somewhere along the way I must’ve liked a tranny and now I’ve got some trannies mixed in with the whores and I’m afraid to like any of them just in case it’s another tranny that I don’t recognize

Dating in 2024 has got to be the biggest game of Russian roulette ever.

smart move not angering it, next thing you know it's sending a YouTube robot from the future to kill your mother in the past.

Yeah, just go to your setting and clear your history.

Youtube also let's you create infinite accounts, you can always just switch to a new one.
