I have always wondered what happens when you hit the “like” button on all these sites.

I just get the feeling I should never do click that button.

________________
Not only do I never do that, I sometimes (when I have time) click on the icon in the upper right-hand corner of the few ads I get shown and when asked why I vary the response between “offensive” and “not relevant”, Other times, I click “don’t like”. Ad will disappear for that view.

I was deleting most of the YT suggestions and then my YT switched back to the general offerings with no delete option, so I simply do not use any suggested view. I will type in what I’m after, usually a DIY or how-to video.

Another thing I noticed: when I was being given the option to deselect channels from suggestions, the comments would be prefaced by “Your reply will post as ___________(real name).” Now, without that option, nothing appears above the comments. I have never posted to a YT video, have no subs, but they know who I am. DH is subbed to a bunch of non-political channels. Different computers, same ISP/router.
