    From what I understand this is just the recommended feed so it wouldn’t affect searching for specific stuff, or binging a channel’s backlog.

    And frankly speaking this should be a default feature. All too often the algorithm thinks “oh you watched this one video let me drown you in that shit at the expense of everything else”.

    The whole thing meshes well with what we know from child/youth psychology, btw: Agency makes all the difference, whether they’re seeking information, or are (in currentyear), doomscrolling it. One tends to involve critical engagement, the other is an osmosis sponge.

    Oh. Speaking of youtube fitness channels, here’s a good one. And another one. Like, especially if you haven’t done anything in a while, just watch this.
