Youtube is also turning into garbage. First 10 or so results are relevant vids, then it becomes a mishmash of "people also watched", "for you", shorts, and similar suggested vids.

EDIT: As for FB. The other day I watched three Studio Ghibli movies on Netflix. The last time I watched anything anime related, was Akira some 30 years ago.

Now the feed is being bombarded with anime and manga meme content. I click "hide all" from these random pages, but they just keep popping up.




I use a FF Add-On called DF (Distraction Free) Youtube. I turn off everything but the subscriptions tab.

Search on Youtube is dead, recommendations all but. At this point I discover creators on other platforms, then subscribe to them on Youtube.


Youtube is a traiwreck anymore. Thankfully when this came up here a few weeks ago a users pointed out that the subscriptions tab is there to just show you what you're subscribed to.
