Yes. No, I'm not gonna turn it back on, even though I really want recommendations back.
Recommendations discovered for me a lot of awesome (useful) channels, people and music. At the same time, it wasted A LOT of my time and energy. The issues outweigh the benefits
Despite using it at its very launch, I've never used YouTube at all really before aside from looking at clips I've found elsewhere, with full adblock, and uploading game clips for mates as unlisted, because it's easy
I think I've gone too long now without recommendations to be bothering to start. There is so much utter, utter shite peddled by utter, utter cunts that puts me off the entire thing.
