A Tesla influencer randomly caught his odometer double-counting mileage on video. Wild.

I admit I didn’t watch the video — I’ve trained YouTube’s algorithm well at this point and don’t want Tesla content — but what the fuck is a predictive odometer? The tires roll a certain distance. We’ve had odometers for like 75 years.

You can remove YouTube videos from your watch history, so they don’t influence your algorithm.

Or don't use YouTube on their platform.

FreeTube, Grayjay, etc are better experiences by far
