YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

    Might just be my account but YouTube algorithms got so sensitive I’m afraid to watch random crap, I watch like 1 video about a topic then for a week that’s all I get.

    But yeah it’s more for intentional viewing than watching random crap, but I saw that as a bonus feature as it led to me procrastinating less.

      lol I have no idea if it works, but if I watch a random video, I delete it from the watch history because I fear that if I don’t, the algo will go bonkers. So far it seems to work though lol
