You know what else bothers me. If I hover over a thumbnail for a video, that now counts as a view and gets added to my history. Clogging up my feed with more algorithmic horseshit I don't want to watch. I'm thinking of just using nebula because I mostly watch science videos and I'm tired of the algo inserting shit I'm not the least bit interested in.

Just scrolling the frontpage on youtube mobile adds stuff randomly to your watch history, it seems to count anything you linger on - however briefly - as a 'watch'

Needless to say ten minutes of absentmindedly scrolling ruins your suggested results for a long time
