    I wish there was a feature like this on YouTube. I’d love a profile for watching educational videos, a profile for feeding me cool videos when I’m high, and a profile for when my kids want to watch stuff. I’m tired of vibing and listening to music videos only to get hit with a language learning podcast or Disney songs.

    It’s insane that they have an incognito mode that still serves up ads even though I have premium.

      Youtube > Profile picture > Settings > Add or manage your channel(s) > create a channel

      You basically get a new “profile” with your own subs, history, profile picture, and comments and premium/channel subscriptions apply to all of them

      They do have categories and I’ve tried to put different channels in different categories, but the thing is just so hard to use I gave up.

      It’s quite surprising how bad Google can be at UX.

        It really is wild how a company can be so massive yet unable to do basic UI. I got a notification that someone replied to a YouTube comment I made so I clicked the notification and it opened up YouTube’s landing page. I tried to find notifications and couldn’t so instead I tried to find a page that has my comment history.

        I had to look it up and apparently you can’t even find it on YouTube, you have to go to a separate website, my activity.google.com.
