This video documents an experiment to find the literal bottom of YouTube’s homepage. The creator scrolls an unsigned, cookie-based homepage on a laptop to see whether recommendations load indefinitely. After several minutes they reach the final blank area, analyze the mix of suggestions (heavy on live streams and nature), count suggested items, and explain why YouTube likely stops loading.
– Experiment: Scrolled an unsigned, cookie-based YouTube homepage to test whether recommendations end or load indefinitely.
– Findings: Reached the literal bottom after about 3 minutes; the page ends in a blank white area with no footer or copyright text.
– Data: Using searches, the creator found ~207 visible video entries per search (about 410 total suggestions) and a high share of live streams, especially nature/owl feeds.
– Conclusion: YouTube stops loading more homepage recommendations—likely a deliberate limit to prevent device crashes—resulting in a finite end rather than infinite suggestions.
Quotes:
I bought a laptop just to see what’s at the bottom of the YouTube homepage.
I actually made it to the end — it’s just a blank white page.
About 410 suggestions and roughly half were live streams — YouTube really likes owls.
