Fuck youtube. You watch one wrong video and half of your recomendations are fucked. And why in 2024 there's no proper tag system yet? I guest keeping things opaque makes them more money.
God how I love using newpipe or invidious to watch yt instead. Whenever I feel like finding stuff, the recommendations are always related to the video currently being watched, which can lead to interesting rabbit holes.
Report them, and say don't recommend. It's our civic duty to spam reports so they get taken down automatically. That will increase the amount it suggests to you but to stop that make playlist that can run overnight, fill it with good shit you've already watched so you don't miss anything new and just let that run. It will hopefully clean that shit out a bit.
One even pseudo-related vid and they'll spam you. Esp if you're in a region where Jesus sells pretty well. I got a ton of that shit when I was in Kansas city for work.
Plus YT is a business, and for the right price they'll show whatever people pay them to show. Welcome to the cyberpunk dystopia
Im just kinda confused. The last overtly religious video I watched was when I was having an existential crisis 7 years ago, why on earth does yt see me watching a video about the history of waffles and think: "you know what this guy wants to see? Someone going on about how our Lord and saviour Elon musk is going to bring about the rapture."
My Google news feed has apparently decided I want to know more about that absolute fucking ghoul from Blackrock that has declared we're not sacrificing enough of finite time on Eath to capitalism because I read one article about him and choked down the reflexive vomit, and has been giving me more and more articles about him all day.
Every time I visit my parents I go through their YouTube now and unsub from all the weird shit. I always get the same response from them "idk I didn't sub to that" children man, they come in all ages. I ask her "then why do you randomly drop dog whistles that line up with what's being currently spouted by the right?" 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
