I don’t know if I’m using YouTube the right or the wrong way, but no, not seeing or watching any AI content. I watch like 5-7 channels, I only use the “subscriptions” page. I might watch a recommended video, but those are usually the old videos from the channels I have subscribed to. I have uBlock and another extension that blocks shorts. Maybe it is a shitfest, but I’m not witnessing it. There are plenty of decision we all make.
Unhook should provide more personal control of experiences within Youtube. If I must watch something controversial like discussions about opposition to AI, I use Freetube so that I don’t get bombarded with unnecessary suggestions.
That Unhook sounded interesting, so I turned off my current YouTube add-on (“Hide shorts for Youtube™”) and uhhh, the Unhook literally did nothing but arranged some things around lol. Not for me, the shorts and all were still there. But cool idea I guess.
It works where uBlock is otherwise being cockblocked from working certain parts. I generally use Unhook to get rid of the comments and live chat section, besides changing my location to a non-Western country.
