Anyone else go down a "Rabbit hole" and get their youtube algorithm all messed up?

Anyone can look at my youtube and know exactly what my current fixation is. It's also annoying and makes it really hard to pull myself out of it. It's like a hyperfixation amplifier.

Thankfully you can stop it. Go to your watch history and remove videos that are messing up your recommendations.

BUT THERE'S HUNDREDS. It is apparently who I am now. 🤷‍♂️ I now am nothing but a 3d printing enthusiast.

Yeah, the issue is mostly that i watch so much of specific thing that it would be a hassle to delete all the videos from the history

Oof. Yeah I've been there, I finally said enough was enough after a certain NSFW monkey video destroyed my homepage years ago.

Now I keep on top of my watch history and my recomendations are much better.
