Got some bullshit about signing in to make sure I'm not a bot. Yeah, no, I use Brave with not signing in for a reason. It went away after a few minutes, but that was weird.

lot of theories going around about them training ai for the last month or so. apparently if the ai thinks you are kid, based on viewing habits, it will turn on restricted mode. another theory, if not seeing channels that you watch new content as it is released, the algorithm only thinks you like a channel if you watch 2-3 vids in a row.
i know they did something as every time they fiddle with the algorithm, i start getting recommended vids that are 10-15 years old.

I switched to ublock origin lite on Chrome since the original ublock origin got removed, and I still watch youtube with no ads on my computer?

Watching on my actual TV is so AIDS though, like 50 second commercials in 2 minute videos. Basically unwatchable.

If you can't sideload apps on your TV, buy a stick of some sort that you can, and put SmartTube on it. I couldn't survive without it, since I watch a ton of YT on my TV.
