Perhaps find out how to remove your history , so that the algorithm can be reset. As an experiment try creating a new viewer account and compare what your current and new account serves you. I think it's worth investigating because, I'm sure you would agree, this suggestion algorithm is pernicious if not controlled.

I agree, but I honestly don't believe my figuring it out will stop the ruination - even if I had the tech-savvy to figure it out. I'm actually okay with current programming, which i watch two hours a night, max, plus free shipping on stuff we buy. Once the pandemic ends (assuming it ever ends) i mean to drop amazon*. On You Tube, sometime when I have better to do, I'll do a lot of random program selecting, whether i watch it or not.

I don't think my internet usage affect anyone's reality very much.
