Deleting a video removes it from every viewer’s watch history, which could affect future recommendations

Fine if you want to change audience, but if you just don’t want the video visible, unlisting it and removing it from playlists is the way to go!

"experts" tell you not to look at screens before bed bc it "messes up your circadian rhythm" but they're just lying so that they can enjoy unfettered high speed connections at bedtime. they want the night internet all to themselves

You aren’t wrong, the corners of the internet existed, but it was hard for them to recruit. People forget that social media exists to microtarget, to constantly deliver new related content to people to keep them addicted to the platform. They built the recruitment engine.
