Isn’t this how it already works? I’ve had watch history off for a few years now and the only thing that influences my recommendations are new subscriptions; which I’m totally fine with. (I don’t thumbs up videos)

On the opposite end: I recently was looking for a good quality belt and avoided Amazon. Found one the met all of my needs and wants after a bunch of searching. It was ok clearance and so returns were explicitly not allowed. I was nervous about the sizing but I figured I’d take a chance.

The only time I look at them is in the morning because I barely leave the house on time and my hands are occupied in both rooms when I need to check my pace.

What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?
I’ve been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy....
Roasting your own coffee is really easy and all you need is an oven, a cookie sheet and some green coffee beans
