YouTube scraped my view history for years with it turned off, for recommendations. YouTube shows me a non-stop deluge of outright scam ads, dozens of times a day, and that's when it's not showing me the creep-crotch shot of a cheerleader ad. (I've reported it countless times)

I'm not rewarding any of their behavior. I don't care if I'm sort some of hypocrite, they're scummy and I will never give them a dime.
