do you watch YouTube? i have a suggestion for you... 🧵

don't give in to the tyranny of The Algorithm, and don't let it choose which videos you watch.

here's a few things you can do:
✅no autoplay
✅run adblock/script block (ad networks often run malicious javascript!)
✅subscribe to YouTubers whose content you enjoy
✅click Subscriptions, and only watch that. no home page, no trending, no "up next"
✅support them on Patreon

people want to know some of the channels i subscribe to, so here are a few:
12voltvids
adam savage's tested
adrian's digital basement
applied science
bigclivedotcom
cathode ray dude
celgenstudios
curiousmarc
fran blanche
LGR
mitsuru yamada
RMC
shango066
techmoan
8bg
videolabguy

vwestlife
bad obsession motorsport
bandersentv
baumgartner restoration
clickspring
cody'slab
dalibor farny
eric strebel
glasslinger
nurdrage
photonicinduction (plz come back!)
sam zeloof
sampson boat company
smartereveryday
strange parts
tech tangents

the proper people
the signal path
this old tony
traffic signals training
uniservo

and a few other random ones.

you'll notice it's a mix of a few big-name channels as well as some more obscure ones. i really enjoy some of the lesser-known creators.

anyway, in general i don't spend a whole lot of time watching youtube. i find electronics projects to be far more engaging!

i've also got a channel of my own, although there's not a whole lot going on there: youtube.com/user/TubeTimeUS
