    Every time I set up a new computer, and before I log into Youtube and see my own recommendations, I look at the raw front page and am shocked that people find all that bullshit entertaining. Nothing but clickbait, drama, and political videos as far as the eye can see.

      I recently started a new google account and was actually disturbed by the absolute shit on the raw front page.

      I actually tried to watch some of the videos to get an inkling of what is supposed to be appealing and I just couldn’t. It was sooooo bad.
