This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For some reason, the 4th video on my "home" feed is always a video with ~300 views from some small account I've never heard of on a topic I'm only passingly interested in.

For a while YouTube got weirdly fixated on showing me videos about steam trains. At the moment, it's a video called "20 Random Yet Interesting Facts"; a 5 day old video with 220 views from a channel called "The Fact Files"

Pretty funny how YouTube gets stuck on topics for a while haha

Yours was steam trains, mine was Soviet nuclear accidents

Recently I got alot of videos about reindeer on ice, and how to remove ticks. I have no idea why YT suddenly recommended me these types of videos

I think shorts broke the algorithm, thats around the time it started to act like that for me at least.
