Maybe try opening the yt app on your tv amd doing it through that UI. Could be your desktop browser’s anti-tracking is messing it up.

The algorithms prioritize things that other users spend a lot of time watching, not relevant or healthy content. Just addictive slop. It’s such a major failing of our institutions that this practice hasn’t been regulated away.

I wish they’d let us hide shows like you can hide channels on YouTube

- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 2 weeks ago:
I would’ve suggested the girl sally. They clearly wanted a teenager to go through the 60s but the actress ended up looking permanently 13.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 2 weeks ago:
Their physical appearance is the least important aspect of their performance. It’s up to the audience to suspend disbelief, or else we end up getting people covered in so much prosthetic that they can’t emote.

There was such a golden age of British culture from 2000 to 2012. Shame the Tories pissed it all away and now Labour seems to be following their lead.
- Comment on YouTube Turns Off Ad Revenue For Fake Movie Trailer Channels After Deadline Investigation 2 weeks ago:
What was interesting about them was always the casting they thought up. Like, I saw a Dracula one staring AI Keanu Reeves and Elizabeth Olson. What sort of casting is that? A teenage boy who has only seen John Wick and Marvel movies thought that up. They probably never even knew Keanu was in the Bram Stoker’s Dracula and dojng a Dracula movie would make no sense for him.
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 2 weeks ago:
In the 1980s, it was possible for a McDonald’s worker to afford a house on their salary alone due to lower housing costs and higher relative purchasing power. For example, in 1980, the average home price was around $47,200, and minimum wage workers could feasibly save for a down payment with disciplined budgeting[5].
Today, this scenario is nearly impossible. Housing costs have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. A full-time McDonald’s worker earning $8.75/hour would gross about $13,811 annually, far below the income needed to afford even modest housing without spending more than 30% of their income on rent[2][4].

- Comment on Severance — Season 3 Renewal | Apple TV+ 3 weeks ago:
!Spoiler
Kier and Lumen are trying to end pain and suffering. The either was a first attempt, severance is the latest.
Was Mark the only one who could work on Gemma’s files? If so, what were the rest of MDR doing?
No, everyone can do the numbers, but they aren’t as good at it as Mark is. Ever since the first episode it has been noted that Mark is particularly good at completing the files.
- Comment on The late 70s Trek series we never got to see 🥹 3 weeks ago:
That’s what’s good about it, the beauty of the OG Enterprise was that any kid could draw it. It’s just three cylinders and saucer.
- Comment on Severance — Season 3 Renewal | Apple TV+ 3 weeks ago:
Cant figure out the spoiler tags on lemmy so warnings for spoilers.
This season we learned what MDR has been actually working on, the goal of Lumen and Kier, who miss cobel was, what the goats are for.
The remaining and new questions are just - why does cobel like mark, why did lumen kidnap gemma specifically, and I guess more background information on the keir cult and other world oddities.
Not sure what you guys are talking about, I felt like it answered all my questions and the only things remaining are just set dressing.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 3 weeks ago:
nah, my info’s pretty fresh. I’ve never seen western countries detain people randomly and then condem them to death tho.
I’m not even a big China fan, I just recognized the bias in what you were saying. You’re assumptions about China are like my dad thinking there’s a good chance he’ll win the lottery because every day he hears about a lottery winner. If the media that reported on every lottery winner had to also spend equal time reporting in every lottery loser, that would disabuse everyone of that notion.
You’re upset not because I accused you of something that is false, but that you know I’m right and that’s embarrassing for you.

I love that david lynch was on those show. And also Werner Herzog
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 3 weeks ago:
You say know what it is, and yet your original comment shows you don’t. You clearly never questioned if the information you were receiving about China was perhaps filtered to give an impression of weakness, cruelty, and disregard for human life - all things we’re naturally biased to think about ‘the other’.
