A feature like "Don't recommend this channel" that actually worked is all it would take for me. A downvote feature would help keep the crap from being recommended in the first place. Youtube once had both features, fully functional. I don't know exactly when but they removed those features but kept the facade. Complete fucking assholes.

As my own bit of disobedience I "watch" muted 4K videos as a screensaver when I'm not at the computer. Of course ublock origin and privacy badger are always running so no ad revenue to them but I abuse their service with max bandwidth use.

I just checked out Odysee for the first time, and the recommendations were mostly right-wing conspiracy crap listed in the same category as Veritasium. No thanks, that's my main complaint about youtube these days.
