Can I consent to permanent storage somewhere? I love using the timeline in Google Maps!

Yes, in “my activity.”

https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols

The location history setting toggles whether data for My Timeline is kept.

I just don't get how Youtube recommendations are so bad. So often it recommends me things I have already watched.

Or the algorithm knows I like David Bowie so recommends me "Changes". The most boring possible recommendation it can give to a David Bowie fan.

I really wish it had a setting to up the daring of the recommendation. It seems designed to just never recommend something that I would really hate but in doing so it never recommends me anything all that interesting.

Thanks for sharing.
