One of the most annoying things YT does to me is recommend videos I’ve already watched. Like I get it, they are perfect for me, exactly the type of video I watch. That’s why I’ve already seen them. And because I don’t have the memory of a housefly, I actually remember what the video was about. If I wanted to watch it again, I would navigate to my history or the channel it’s from and rewatch it there.

It makes absolutely no sense to me, why recommend videos I’ve already seen?

I use a browser plugin to hide those videos, but it doesn’t fully work.

Every. Fucking. Year. I swear, google just runs a query to remove view history past a certain age. Every. Fucking. Year, there comes a time where my ENTIRE FUCKING HOME PAGE basically resets to a year ago, because it forgot I watched every fucking video already.

Fuck Google. They’re too lazy to do anything correct.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
