“It is a bit insulting to say that someone needs to curate their YouTube watching and "Lock in"”
Opinion, not factual
Confidence: High Checked on July 24, 2026

Summary

The claim that calling someone to curate their YouTube viewing and “Lock in” is insulting is a subjective judgment. Available sources discuss the necessity of curating YouTube content for safety and algorithmic reasons, but they do not provide evidence that such a suggestion is inherently insulting. Consequently, the statement cannot be verified as a factual claim.

    But I share everyone else's feelings, the algo change is worse now, and the way it highly prioritizes new content you've watched in a really aggressive fashion is irritating. Click to expand... Just quoting you but also responding to others. OK, so the solution you're all basically saying is: curate harder.
