    Nope, it also recommends streams based on what other people watch from the channels you’re following, it’s not only based on your viewing data. Other aggregates like generally what’s popular might get thrown into the mix as well.

    To test this create a fresh account, follow Asmongold & let his streams run for a while, after some time the recommendations are going to be full of booby streams.

    It’s kind of a running joke at this point that if you watch him you’re going to get booby stream recommendations because his viewers are degens.




  • I feel you, my problem is that I switch between languages too much. I’m learning rust right now as a hobby, but I’m technically a frontend dev with years of experience in angular and react, and a couple months ago I have been put on a legacy rails project, which we’re rewriting for Angular x Java stack (thankfully my roommate is a Java backend dev, he’s been a lot of help) and on top of this I maintain my Cyberpunk 2077 mods written in lua, c++ and redscript (swift-like).

    Send help.




  • I suffered with it a lot, personally. Pretty much every food tasted different, and most of it was horrible for about 1 year (after the initial ~3 months of 0 smell). I lost a lot of weight because I just couldn’t eat anything, everything had a horrible taste that I cannot compare to anything and I was really depressed about it. I started experimenting with vastly different foods that I was used to eating and that worked a bit. After about 1,5 years some tastes slowly started creeping back and it’s still in progress. Some foods now just simply taste different to what they used to (but not bad), some still taste bad, and some taste exactly like I remember.

    This whole thing was/is really depressing for me personally. I don’t have any positives about it.






  • I’m completely aware of the financial issues YouTube is facing, but they got themselves into this mess (and most other companies as well, who provide a service for “free”). They make users accustomed to a level of service, build a userbase and ride on investments with the expectation that they’ll figure out how to make money when they reach mass adoption.

    The fact that youtube premium took years to even conceptualize is a massive failure on their part. Or how 1080p+ video wasn’t a paid feature to begin with. Making your users get used to a level of service, then making their experience more miserable and selling a solution to the problem they made does not bode well with people who have been on the platform before “things turned to shit”.

    It also doesn’t help that the first course of action was to increase the amount of ads, increase retainment, “enshifficate” the platform in order to increase the time people spend on the site (=more ad revenue). Now I’m at a point that I can’t use YouTube without uBlock, sponsorblock, return youtube dislikes and Revanced (includes the latter two extensions for mobile), turning useless features off (or with the case of dislikes, back on) and stopping the bombardment of ads.

    Youtube premium would still provide me with a worse experience, so why would I switch? They should figure out how to provide people additional value for their money, and shouldn’t have accustomed people to a level of service that they 100% knew wouldn’t be sustainable.



  • This is fake (like all of these conversation screenshot posts, welcome to the internet, where have you been) and what makes it funny is the fact that it’s fake. If a man posted it as “I’ve got harassed by X and this is my story” the majority would react similarly to you (some ppl would still be haha funny as we can see from actual sh/sa posts and those people can go fuck themselves). But it isn’t, we all know it’s fake, we all laugh about the absurdity of it and that’s it.



  • The underlying problem is the same, it just became more accessible to copy code you don’t understand (you don’t even need to come up with a search query that leads you to some kind of answer, chatpgt will interpret your words and come up with something). Proper use of chatgpt can boost productivity, but people (both critics of chatgpt and people who don’t actually know how to code) misuse it, look at it as a “magic solution box” instead of a tool that can assist development and lead you to solutions.
