My red flag would be showing them NewPipe, with recommendations turned completely off.
And subscriptions using RSS feeds instead of a YouTube account.
Guilty.
Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.
Having no actual presence on social media
I’ve got some bad news for you…
I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I’m not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.
Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.
A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.
perhaps it would serve humanity greatly if I do not reproduce
“I only watch youtube through libretube, invidious and freetube”
Probably its own kind of red flag.
You’re correct. Judging people based on an algorithm your have no way of knowing is indeed a red flag ma’am.
I think if I was a woman and I saw that a potential mate’s recommended was full of *ndrew t*int videos or similar, I would take it exactly as that: a red flag. Not an immediate condemnation but a sign that something MIGHT be wrong. It could be that they’re watching the videos with a critical mindset, or the algorithm is just doing some wonky shit, but I would probe further just to make sure that they aren’t a raging misogynist
