Someone's been looking through my youtube history and posting from it. The alignment is insane.

The alignment often makes me wonder how much we "free-thinkers" are also being steered.

So very often during the lockdown there were trends of "new surfacing information" - and often it was stuff they knew about for some time, yet it would trend among influencers. Same with deep politics, though less specific and less notable.

I blame Al Gore's dancing.

I can't trust the YouTube algorithm to give me what I want. It's easy to be distracted by time-suckage. So I have tab-groups.

Daily I check 10 must-see YouTuber's latest videos to be sure I haven't missed them, and add them all to my monthly "Analysis Unseen" playlists that is my main watch. Now that Rumble finally has playlists I'll need to migrate - and pickup many who were censored long ago. Weekly I have maybe 20-30 to check in on. Sometimes I check my DIY, Entertainment, and Monthly tab-groups.

On my PC I can see one or two algorithm recommendations in the bottom right corner that I usually ignore. Sometimes it hooks me and those get added to my playlist, as do recommendations from folks. If the videos are good they'll get added to my meta-topical playlists for potential reference or sharing. I need better tools for this.

On my phone I often get hooked the shorts and algorithm feed until I get wise and go to my playlist. I need to fix this.

Feature ideas for Matrix (no hurry):

  • ability to change sub labels (ie. once I posted to Can rather than Canada because I didn't know I had to click on the auto-complete pop-up)
  • ability to list and organize sub labels
  • chat timestamps
  • multi-subs (or essentially more than one meta-tags) without multiple posts
  • notice if something has already been posted (and the option to "re-set" the clock on it, along with by who - rather than just the option to re-post it so that you don't get multiple discussions)
  • option checkbox(es) to simultaneously mirror-post on LeverMind.net and maybe other platforms, however that may work (custom app and/or browser-addon to keep permissions with users?) May be worth an icon or notice to indicate that it's be mirror-posted and where. Aggregating response-comment notifications from multi-platforms seems much more difficult - or maybe just note the mail icon on each platform. Could be cool to see notifications via app or brower-addon icons.
  • user bookmark, flag, mark, or save noteworthy comments and posts (I like keeping notes. Maybe I should develop a simple note-making and organizing system for use on Projex.Wiki, though it's never quick or simple.)
  • user comment history, not just post history
  • user post history with options (check boxes?) to add or remove or focus on subs

Also:

  • ability to view and edit "post whenever" cue
  • all users' new comments, for all or specific sub(s)
