Recommendations for Parent YouTube Algorithm Change
Hello everyone! This is my first time posting here and my first time on mobile, so if this isn’t the right sub or if there are formatting errors, I apologize.
Essentially, my father has gotten into a cycle where he watches YouTube shorts and subsequent long form videos all day long. He does not like being asked to do something else. The issue is that he is stuck in a corner of the algorithm that is the fear mongering, World of Absolutes (keywords like annihilated, destroyed, shock). He just surfs, and he made his way from his normal interests in outdoor videos, documentaries, and cooking into a nonstop stream of negativity.
I am hoping to get recommendations of channels to subscribe to that can get his channel back to more of a normal, and any recommendations on how to push away the harmful content. One channel I subscribed to today was Odd Animal Specimens because of how calm and informative it was, but I’m open to anything.
ETA: He also listens to this on the TV in the main room on FULL volume, so please try to limit YouTubers who yell by default
