    DeArrow is another useful extension for Youtube, created to remove clickbait from your feed. It removes thumbnails and changes video titles based on user suggestions similar to Sponsorblock.

    I generally use YouTube without logging in on the PC and clean history every now and then. No matter which videos I watch first, the feed gets populated with such amount of garbage, that it kinda surprises me. Softcore porn, cop and gun shit, shitty political stuff, it’s flabbergasting.

      That’s unfortunately what the algorithm gives when it doesn’t know very much about you: bottom of the barrel slop. I’m the opposite and stay logged in, but I’m also diligent about removing items from my watchlist if I didn’t like them, or if I see they’re skewing the algorithm.
