I dont know, thats a pretty good way of a third Party vibecheck thats Not too intrusive

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but back in the day you didn't need third party verification for vibes, you'd just go out for coffee or similar and grok their vibe that way.

Except for the fact that the recommendations are completely FUBAR.

My YouTube viewing is mostly vocal coach reaction videos, British comedy and music videos. Bit weird and nerdy, sure, but harmless.

I was careless enough to click an unmarked link shared by a far right troll during a lemmy argument ONCE over half a year ago and I'm still getting recommended Jordan Peterson clips and other such garbage every time I watch something on YouTube rather than NewPipe or SmartTube.

That's not a bug BTW, that's a feature of the recommendations algorithm working as intended.

I'd show a partner my subscription list, but they'd have to listen to my explanations of which ones I watch, which are left over from when I was interested in that or that

Not because they're embarrassing or anything, just I don't really watch the coffee equipment review channels since choosing a coffee system, and wouldn't want to be mistaken for someone who still wastes hours trying to choose how to coffee
