everybody's feed is an echo chamber. each person has access to something like 1% of the total videos posted, so two feeds will be unrecognizable. all the videos I get are about how to help Palestinian families, or short history documentaries, or a published linguist talking about interesting words, this guy who collects license plates (I don't care about license plates but his channel is great), this guy who collects stamps and helps people evaluate the sets that they find in grandad's closet (I don't give a shit about stamps but the history that he talks about alongside them is great). the Green Brothers, if you're still into them. plus all the major news outlets are on there, as well as quite a few politicians. woodworkers, clay artists, stonemasons, glass blowers, all showing their art daily

I've been blocking anybody who does undeclared advertising for like a year, and they just don't show me that shit anymore
