The YT algorithm immediately started FLOODING my recommendations with reaction videos. It took me weeks of completely ignoring all reaction videos to mostly clear my YT recommendations of them (they still sneak in the odd one here and there). I spent years never even looking at YT's "home page/top url" where all the rec. are. Which is why I suppose I'd not know about memes or whatever for months/years, haha. I'd always just enter YT via my own channel URL and searchbar for stuff. The tablet/phone is where I began finally looking at it sometimes. I still generally avoid it on the PC. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 That could be a revealing interesting (or predictable...) forum thread - post a screenshot of the first 'page' of YT recommendation. ...yes mine would have a lot of cats/animals. And today, apparently 9+ videos of "(insert # of hours) soothing sounds of rain to sleep by" because I went to a bookmark of such a video to see if it still existed or should be deleted (the bookmark). “Things are as they are.

Keyrock Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Whenever my YT recommendations page goes to ****, my go to move (now that I've caught on to YT's game) is to bring up the search bar and type in something along the lines of "cute capybara*", then I watch like 6 or 7 lovable animal videos in a row.

ShadySands Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I watched a few videos on nuTrek and now I keep getting recommendations for Trek bashing stuff. Problem is that most of it is culture war/libs ruin everything crap. I'm looking for an honest critique on what did and didn't work and why or why not and not rants about diversity or whatever intensity of they will not replace us.

LadyCrimson Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 *My PC must be silent, silent, silent! Noctua, low GPU fan rpm's, etc etc. SILENCE* ..medium/average summer-ish temps for two days where room goes over that because of computing etc. *A/C on (general room), floor fan on (direct on self), air cleaning filter unit thingie on (because who knows if that AC has allergen molds somewhere after being off for months)* ....so much for silence. By the time I'm 60 I'll be turning A/C on at 72F or something. Pfft. “Things are as they are.

majestic Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Suffered the use support version of a belated April Fool's joke. 895 and 958 are not the same numbers, even if they look a bit similar.

Guard Dog Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Taking Sunny back to the doctor today. She has a disease called Cushings Syndrome. The version she has affects her pituitary system. She has been taking a drug called denemarin for years but it seems like it's no longer effective. We switched to another one a few weeks ago but I think it's making her sick. Hopefully the vet has other options. 1 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Guard Dog Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks, you guys are awesome! The DR is starting her on a new drug, Vetrotyl (something like that). It’s a cotisol blocker. It’s supposed to be taken with denemarin so now there will be two pills hidden in the peanut butter. I’m sure she won’t mind. She said we should notice a difference pretty quickly. 7 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
LadyCrimson Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 ^ Hopefully the new drug mix works well. Also, I wish the peanut butter (or any food method) thing worked with cats.
