The "Recommended for You" section displayed on YouTube is highly personalized for each user. How might our perspective of the world change if we could experience the recommendations meant for someone else? TheirTube is a web service that lets you experience the filter bubbles of others' information environments. It offers an opportunity to notice the uniqueness of the information displayed in "recommended videos." TheirTube has personas based on six entirely different YouTube user viewing histories.Users can see what kind of videos line up on the YouTube homepage from the perspective of these personas. Each persona is created based on real interviews, and you can see videos recommended to someone who has fallen for conspiracy theories, or those who are politically liberal or conservative in their thinking. The source code is available on Github, and anyone can create their own TheirTube
