ADHD memes

YouTube is a massive offender IMO.

I browse YT more than I probably should, and the number of times I've seen the same video recommended, sometimes even the same day, is far too high. I have watched and rewatched videos again and again because YT puts them into the auto-play crap, and I forgot to turn that off and feel asleep on the couch while it was playing something unrelated.

YT also seems to get aggro about making sure I watch some videos. Like, there's some creators that put out some really good stuff usually, but when they put out a video I genuinely don't care about the subject of, then I avoid that video. But it's always in my recommended videos, and usually first in line on any auto-play on YT for weeks. It's like, I've passed over this video 50 times, but you think I'm suddenly going to find interest in this topic on the 51st time you show me that the video exists?

The algorithm is stupid.
