Thankfully I’m avoiding most noisy university-sophomore politics in my content, whenever it pops up I quickly prune it out of my content feed.
Currently, the four main subjects on my watch history are particle physics, cosmology, Gobekli Tepe (and everything related to those ancient Taş Tepeler people), Sumerian cuneiform writing (courtesy of the extraordinary Professor Irving Finkle).
But to keep things on topic, I regularly have to block suggested channels and videos that start straying towards clickbait controversy, “Is Science Dying?” and “The Image NASA Doesn’t Want You To See!”, that sort of bullshit.
The goddamned algorithm, and those that feed it, it’s mindlessly relentless constant mechanism, and I hate it, but there is so much treasure among the brushes and poison ivy one has to keep on hacking at, with the proverbial digital machete. There is so much legit gold in there.
Oh man, I LOVE that channel, written by Paul M. Sutter aka Ask A Spaceman, I’ve seen every episode, some of them twice. And that goes as well as its’ sister channel, The Entire History Of Earth.
Actively managing your algorithm and feed is essential to keeping your sanity these days. There’s so much good content out there, but there’s even more garbage.

Check out the history of the universe on YouTube if physics and cosmos is cool to you. I shill it anywhere I can because it’s so good.
