I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and watching additional content is harder.

This is good progress from Google to get off their platform :)

90% of my recommendations are videos I have already watched.

Youtube recommendations used to be an amazing way to find new music. Sometimes you even had a little community of people in the comments going from video to video.

Another casualty of enshittification, I guess.
