YouTube
learned your
clicks, not
your taste

A look inside
A real report, not a mock-up
The Takeaway
You click on shortcuts and stories, but you only finish the things that respect your time — and the gap between the two is costing you about a workday a month.
Your Profile
The Selective Deep-Diver
You don't watch YouTube — you study it. When something catches your eye you go all the way in: full videos, follow-up rabbit holes, the comment section. But you're ruthless about what earns that attention. Most things get 40 seconds and a back-button. The algorithm keeps showing you more of what you half-watched; you keep proving it wrong.

on 142 videos you abandoned early
≈ a full work day
You started 142 videos in the last 90 days and bailed within the first minute — but not before they ate roughly 8 hours of your attention in clicks, loads, and 30-second auditions. That's a full work day spent deciding things weren't worth watching.
Interest Clusters
Software & Programming
This is your real home base. High completion, long sessions, and you regularly rewatch segments — a pattern that only shows up for content you're actively learning from, not passively consuming.
Surprises
You've watched over 38 hours of programming content in 90 days — that's more than most people spend on Netflix in a month.

How it works
Three steps to your mirror
Export your history
Add the free Decode My Feed extension, open your YouTube history, click Start. Two minutes, all on your own machine. It reads how much of each video you actually finished — the thing Google’s own export leaves out, and the reason your report knows what you abandoned, not just what you clicked.
See your stats free
Drop the file here and your headline numbers come back immediately, at no cost — hours watched, completion rate, the channels that own your week. Decide on the full report after you've seen them.
Get the read
The clickbait you keep falling for, the videos you quietly finished, the channels eating your week, your viewing persona — and the specific “Not interested” taps that retrain the feed.
On a phone, or not using Chrome?
The extension needs a desktop Chromium browser — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera or Vivaldi. Everyone else can use Google Takeout, which works anywhere: request the export, and when Google emails you the .zip, drop it in as-is. No unzipping, no hunting for a file inside it.
Takeout can’t record what you actually finished, so that report skips the completion-based sections — and if you buy one, your second scan with the extension is free. We merge it with the timing data from your Takeout run and rebuild the full report at no extra charge.

Your real preferences and your click behavior are quietly at war — and your feed is only listening to one of them.
Those are real titles from the sample report, sorted by how much of each video actually got watched. Your report names your own — then gives you the specific “Not interested” taps that stop the feed serving more of the left-hand column.
FAQ
Common questions
$4.99, once. There's no account and no subscription — you pay for the one report and that's the end of it. Your headline stats (hours watched, completion rate, your top channels) are shown for free after you upload, so you can see the real numbers from your own history before you decide whether to buy the full read.
No — every number in the report is computed from your own file, not guessed. The hours, completion rates, video counts, and channel rankings are calculated directly from your history and can't be invented. The written analysis then works from those figures, which is why it names your actual channels and topics back to you rather than describing a type.
A youtube-watch-history.json file, created by our free Chrome extension. The extension reads the watch-time details (how much of each video you actually watched) that a plain Google export doesn't include. We'll walk you through it step by step on the upload screen.
Yes. The extension runs entirely on your own machine and only saves a file to your computer. When you upload it, your file is parsed on your device and only the watch entries needed for analysis are sent securely to our analysis service. The finished report is kept for 24 hours so you can come back to it — then everything is automatically and permanently deleted from our servers.
Yes, using Google Takeout. The extension needs a desktop Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera or Vivaldi), but Takeout works on any device: request the export on your phone, and when Google emails you the .zip, upload it here exactly as it arrived — no unzipping, no digging for a file inside it. A Takeout report skips the completion-based sections, so if you buy one, your second scan with the extension is free: we merge it with the timing data from the first run and rebuild the full report at no extra charge.
The report is built from how much of each video you actually finished, which only appears on your YouTube history page. The extensionscrolls that page, reads the progress bar under each video, and exports a clean JSON file — something Google Takeout can't give you.
Yes. After payment, your report is generated and emailed automatically to the address you enter at checkout. You can also download it as a PDF. The report stays available on the results page for 24 hours, then it's automatically deleted from our servers — after that, the email and your downloads are the only copies.
Your report shows your viewing persona, where your time actually goes, the topics you keep returning to, the gap between what you click and what you finish, and a set of behavioral patterns — things YouTube has already figured out about you, surfaced so you can see them too.
We analyze your most recent 90 days of history, capped at your 1,000 most recent videos. This keeps the report focused on who you are now — and keeps the analysis fast.
Large files are fine. Only your 1,000 most recent videos from the last 90 days are analyzed, so a file with years of history typically takes just a few seconds.
