Which channels should I subscribe to? The goal is to make my YouTube feed so useless I’ll never want to touch it again. Suggest channels, and I’ll subscribe to all of them, no questions asked. Give me the channels that make you question humanity, and I’ll handle the rest. Drop your worst channel suggestions here, and I’ll subscribe to all of them. Now is your opportunity to make my YT feed even worse than it already is.

Some background

This is a reference to my earlier post. About two months ago, I decided to subscribe to anyone who asks. Turns out, most channels don’t even bother asking any more. Maybe they know how little it matters.

My feed was still too functional, so I knew needed to up my game. While doing household chores, I started putting on some pointless trash videos and ignoring them. I also subscribed to all the background channels I wasn’t even watching. Sadly, that wasn’t enough to ruin my feed. What’s next? My feed needs more idiot nonsense channels, so it’s time to go nuclear and ask the internet.

My conclusions so far

Subscriptions seem play a minor role, but that idea needs to be tested properly. It’s too early to tell just yet. The home page and sidebar recommendations are mostly from channels I’ve never even seen before. If I haven’t subscribed but have liked or commented, those channels get recommended more. If I subscribed but only watched one video and didn’t engage, I might never see that channel again. But how well do those channels get buried? I need to throw more channels into the dark void that is my subscription list. I want to stress-test test idea properly by subscribing to even more channels. Throw all your dumbest channel suggestions here, and I’ll take it from there.

Yeah but why though?

YouTube already sucks, but it can suck more. The more I hate it, the less I’ll use it. This is my twisted way of ditching YouTube permanently. It might take a while, but once my feed is beyond repair, there’s no turning back.
