Yeah no, that's the opposite of what I'm trying to do by listening to people who have seen films from countries other than the US.

That dilemma is also solved for me.
The solution is to have a backlog and read books years after publication. Thankfully plenty of good stuff has been written over hundreds of years, no need to jump on fresh books.
Can also just do that by having a backlog of good films. Something like ‘Roger Ebert's list of great movies’, for starters. As a bonus, the list has many films from outside Hollywood.
Also, films on dvds tend to have a reddish tint for some reason. Maybe color grading for CRTs was like that, idk. Releases on bluray typically have a more neutral palette, though some lean a bit too much into blue shades.
My method of using YouTube is to look through recommendations on a video that I liked, and save any promising videos to ‘watch later’. Moreover, I have a dozen ‘watch later’ playlists by topic, each with several dozen videos in them. I can live off these playlists for at least a year.
I also open any links from social media in a private tab, lest my carefully cultivated taste profile gets bungled.
I've already read ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ and ‘American Psycho’, thanks.
Among metal bands that I've known for a long time is the goregrind band Purulent Spermcanal. Who at different times did split releases with Pulmonary Fibrosis and with Vaginal Herpes.
I guess it was a glitch somewhere: here's a comment that didn't work for me, but does now. The error overlay appearing back then wasn't informative, it just said ‘can't open the link’ immediately, so it looked like Voyager just couldn't deal with it.
By the way, because of how your username is highlighted, I thought I was talking to the thread's OP.
Just doesn't open them, does nothing and shows an error message. Despite having created those links.

That also apparently depends a lot on the particular region's policies. Which aren't as centralized as everyone in the West imagines.
