A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Hi lemmy,

youtube served me this survey today (english translation): "Which of the following issues have you encountered on the YouTube homepage today?

*The page is confusing
*I want to remove a video, but I don't know how to do it
*I couldn't find a particular livestream
*The "Do not recommend videos from this channel" menu option does not work
*Other problem
*None of them / not sure"

Which is funny, because I noticed when I blocked a "right wing propaganda" channel the other day in the YT shorts section it just skipped the video and played another one from the same channel.

Disclaimer: All anecdotal evidence, I can't prove a thing, but even just the idea of me not being able to stop shitty recommendations pains me.

WTF Youtube. Stop that shit.

Edit: Minor Format tweak.

What are some cool people on nebula? I know a good chunk of urban planning content creaters are on there, which is greatly appealing to me.

I have been thinking about moving there, just wish they can store my watch history local only and ideally open-source their app, just like newpipe.

I think Jacob Geller is the best video essayist out there, he posts a nebula exclusive for all of his videos too.

I'm very grateful that their app loads 1080p content on rooted devices tbh.

Big fan of urban planner content creators on there too, just wish more would make the jump

I personally am a fan of jet-lagged, the game. Sam, Ben, and Adam from wendover productions/Half as interesting compete in various travel-based games across the world.
