I just saw this video and it seems kinda flawed in methodology. So, if I were to run this experiment totally autonomously via browser script, how could I make the absolute most boring profile to YouTube? Spoof the user agent? VPN somewhere that isn't my home in NYC? I wanna see what an absolute milquetoast profile will lead to 200 autoplays later youtube.com/watch?v=_7MudsS4WM

Here's my thinking: if it smells desktop Linux, that might tip it into more technical videos. Windows seems like the most neutral. If it sees my IP in NYC, that might give it more liberal/academic (read: Nebula-esque) videos. Idk what a "neutral" location would be.

I want to give it absolutely nothing and just see where it leads.

@samhenrigold I would say Windows is more neoliberal than centrist

@samhenrigold my vote is a fresh windows vm with stock fonts installed in microsoft edge with an ip out in a purple state
