Go to your history and delete it. I assume this does little to nothing for ads, but it definitely does affect suggestions.

I like the occasional "cute animal" video, but if you leave one in your history, YouTube becomes a cute animal machine.

Hah this is so true. I always watch stuff like this in an incognito mode browser.

Fascinating! I assumed it wouldn't work - sure they'd take it away from history view, but keep it as a data point regardless of deletion

The name of the show is 60 Minutes, a popular and generally reputable* US news program.

The actual clip is 13 minutes.

*Because I know it's coming, yes, they aren't perfect; but considering they've been going 55 years they're far better than most. I found they were pretty balanced in this clip - skeptical but not dismissive.

> just watch this 'short' hour-long video

it's literally a 13 minute video, man. The SHOW is named "60 Minutes" and it's rather legendary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_Minutes and it usually features a number of stories in that timeframe, not just 1. I hate predictability too, such as assuming I'm one of "those people forcing you to watch a whole hour of BS" just because you like being a debunker.

It's also dealing with US Military folks, which are an honorable lot (I served 4 years in the USAF, so I take these people seriously... integrity is HIGHLY HIGHLY encouraged)

Also, when you're dealing with eyewitness testimony in particular, video evidence is natural because the delivery of this type of communication is best done with the entire presentation of the person doing it, because words on paper alone are distorting.

Well said. In another comment thread there are two people slinging links to YouTube videos and criticizing legitimacy of the others’ linked video. I’m looking at both of the videos and I don’t recognize any of the people talking as experts of anything.

Also 60 minutes has a lot of credibility issues. And is not generally looked upon as a rigorous journalism source.

Apparently it's extremely hard for most people to land somewhere between "completely accepting" something and "completely dismissing" something. No one's asking you to "completely accept" a claim based only on this 60 Minutes piece, but let's suppose it has pushed the needle a little further away from "completely dismissing" for a bunch of people.
