Feature description

I'd like to suggest a privacy-focused feature that helps reduce YouTube's ability to profile users.
The idea is to add a "random background playback" mode that:

• Randomly picks a video from a user's subscribed channels (or a list of channels user viewed) and plays it in the background muted outside the GUI.
• Lets the user set how often this happens (for example: 1–3 random videos per hour, or every 15/30/60 minutes).
• Runs in the background without needing the user to manually open each video.
• Is fully opt-in and can be disabled anytime.

The goal is to make it harder for YouTube to build a clean "interest profile" by mixing in random, non-personalized plays, a bit like what Fauxx does:

Why do you want this feature?

YouTube, aka GOOGLE, actively profiles users based on what they watch, search for, and interact with. Even without an account, they can still infer a lot from behavior.

Pipe already helps by not logging in and not sending watch history back to Google, but if someone uses Pipe alongside other apps or devices, their overall profile can still get quite detailed.

Right now, there's no built-in way in Pipe to "noise up" the signal that YouTube sees, or to passively explore content in a randomized way without feeding a recommendation algorithm.

Additional information

There are tools like Fauxx that purposely randomize YouTube activity to mess with profiling. I think a lighter, buuit-in friendly version of that idea could fit well with this project's privacy-first philosophy.
