Not sure if this game exists, but I feel it would be quite a cool game.

Curious if anyone would want to play it with me?

There was one called "pewdiepie to holocaust denial speedrun" where you start from an pewdiepie video and by following reccomendations you finish in an holocaust denial video in the lest amount of videos.

I was going to say, I bet there’s a game where you click recommended until you land on a video that is some kind of abhorrent conspiracy nonsense.

Like the Wikipedia game? Not likely but you can make it.

[–] GreyTechnician@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeha like the wikipedia game, feel like it could be quite cool for YouTube.

I thought there was one that clicking the first link on an article, and then repeat on the next article, by the seventh you on the "philosophy" article

Edit: word

Edit 2: I think it was if you keep clicking the first link, eventually you'll get to philosophy

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The first non-italicized link, specifically.

And if I remember correctly the longest one found so far is "Gandalf (disambiguation)" at 14 steps.

[–] R4sjd1@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I obviously had to try this since I need to get up very early tomorrow morning. Now I am stuck because I am pretty sure I played it incorrectly, so just out of curiosity if anyone could verify the number of steps to get to the philosophy page by starting with this article - that would be great…

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I got 19. Maybe I'm the one remembering wrong.

Edit : first non italicized nor parenthetical link. Going through pronunciation notes gets you nowhere.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

This might be fun, but I feel like my recommendations go in circles

It might be a game to just escape the circle

[–] HocEnimVeni@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You mean the hitler thing on wikipedia?

[–] GreyTechnician@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Go to random article on Wikipedia. See how many clicks it takes you to get to Hitler's wiki page without using the search function.

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Using country always feels like cheating though in that game.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ well you can try it with any two pages of your choosing!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

How can you get a fresh session at youtube? I'm worried they'll recognize my IP and it'll shape what I'm being shown

[–] GreyTechnician@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

You literally just sign out and make sure you clear your cookies and this then resets your YouTube.

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Firefox temporary containers works for me.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do you use firefox in a container?

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's an extension. Search for "Temporary Containers" in the Add-ons and Themes section under to the Tools menu.
