She’s almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she’s anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I’m trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.

    Yup pretty easy too. I just checked on my mobile app this is how you do it

    • Click ‘Library’
    • On your History section, click ‘view all’
    • Then click the three dots upper right
    • Click ‘clear all watch history’

    You can also do this from the google history management page on the web but not sure the step tho.

      I’m not sure about this tbh, I’ve had YouTube history disabled/cleared for years and it still recommends content that is relevant to things I’ve been watching. But maybe it at least can help?

        I’m not a YouTube user but your experience makes more sense to me. None of the data gobbling corps actually delete anything when you say so but just set it invisible. Why would Google delete their precious ML model just because you “delete” its training data?
