And oh, I'm the perfect audience to the whole noir parody!

If only YouTube's recommendation algorithm could figure out that these are the videos I want to see. I have a good list of subscriptions and have been on the site for years, but they haven't realized all I want are 20 - 60 minute videos that took someone months to make focusing on some technical niche.
I ended up just disabling their recommendations (and incidentally, Shorts) by disabling watch history.
Disabling YouTube watch history also disabling recommendations was such a huge improvement in my life, highly recommend to anyone looking to increase their intentionality around consuming media....

Crazy to think I was mad when YouTube rolled that out as a way to force people to re-enable watch history. I held firm purely out of spite and now my screen time averages multiple hours less per day. Those recommendations "that are really high quality and I love to discover" or that "I'd really hate to miss out on" turned out to just be an addiction causing more harm than good for me. I almost want to thank Google for forcing my hand lol.
This channel is absolutely one that stays for entertainment in my now heavily curated subscription list though.
Great little video - I love seeing ambitious and creative nerds chronicling their journey into the past.
If you enjoyed this video, I suggest you check out other videos on MattKC's channel, they're all great and have a similar vibe to this
