This is interesting and also worrying. The first video it found for me featured a medical patient giving away their full name and date of birth.

#62Amazing concept. This was an incredible thing to uncover during my few minutes on the site: https://youtu.be/1rvPbeHjzlk It's a video of a woman reciting a poem that she wrote for her eldest son that speaks of her love for her son and her wish that he would get "off the streets". Emotional, honest, real. YouTube like I've never experienced. Brilliant.
What a discovery. I feel a bit intrusive getting to experience it. I hope her communication succeeds.

#63Quoting astrocat from the previous thread: PSA: Watch in an private/incognito tab/window. If you are currently logged into your google account, this WILL pollute your watched history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history
I wish you hadn't told me that. I thought I saw something suspicious when I resumed switching and yep, that's a bunch of topless elementary schoolers at a pool party. I suppose it doesn't technically violate YouTube's policies but jesus I did not want to see that.
Why not? Pedophilia is not a communicable disease.

This can be found on many social media profiles. What’s the concern?

#66I'm trying to find any contact information of the creator, can anyone help me with this?
Here's the GitHub repo for the site: https://github.com/wonga00/astronaut - I'm sure you can go from there. :)

#69It needs an "upvote" or "downvote" button so people can filter out the better videos that others should watch.
That's exactly what it shouldn't contain!

#70Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some like me actually appreciate the youtube recomendations based on the previously watched content, but need to be extra careful when watching some kind of content that is likely to be weighted a lot by "power users". Example, I do not follow videogames, but I do enjoy watching speedruns of old games ocassionally, so I need to watch it on incognito mode so I won't have my recommendations flooded with videogame video…
Essentially with all that data, YouTube still hold a bad recommendation engine.
I disagree from my own experience.
