I've been forced to do it once for reddit, with the API fiasco, and I don't really notice improvement but I do notice reduced quality of life. Almost no other websites have easily accessible niche memes.

YouTube recommendation is never that good to me. I frequently just scroll desperately and ended up not watching anything, and when I'm peak bored I resort to rewatching my list of liked videos. That's why I feel weird whenever I see projects that want to make YouTube less engaging, it's already not engaging enough for me.

My recommendations on YouTube are currently a mix between science projects - NightHawkInLight just did something on electrolysis that I haven't watched yet - and political hopefully-not-slop-but-still-mass-produced-content like how AI data centers are failing.
