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.

    Delete current watch history, pause and disable watch history or alternatively, redirect her videos to a YouTube front end like Piped or Invid that looks like YouTube.

      Invidious is different enough that dummies will complain that “it’s not youtube”

      Source: had my mom and ex-gf complain exactly that. “But it doesn’t show ads” wasn’t enough quality of life for them over the known UI.
