Youtube constantly tries to admonish me for leaving my watch list disabled so it can't send me recommendations -- like I actually give a flying fuck what Google things I should be interested in.
Oh even if you have it on it will try Shapiroing you, or slip in some crying Peterson. It really takes some time if you try to tame it. I think I'm in some zone where they just quit on me. But then I've never in my life clicked on anything recommended.
