If you go to YouTube in your browser right now is it full of Nazis and right wing hate? Cause mine is full of sketch comedy from the 90s and Kurzgesagt videos, if your homepage is full of Nazi stuff… well… that’s a you thing. I have never been fed complete irrelevant content that I’m not searching for. You need to adjust your metaphorical bookstore to be individualized recommendations based on the previous book purchases and the purchasing habits of people who purchased the same books.

I watch YouTube videos for gaming stuff and historical docuseries and 4x4ing that’s it, my feed about a year or two ago went from gaming content to videos about “guy owns feminist” and Andrew Tate/Jordan Peterson type horseshit along with freaking sky news bullshit (I don’t even watch the news!) and all my gaming stuff just disappeared from my recommended list and I actively have to search and go to the YouTubers channel to get to the vids I want.

It’s not a me thing, I even tried downvoting and “giving feedback” and liking videos but nup did nothing to change the algorithm still just right wing anti female bullshit.

So either the algorithm thinks because I like video games and 4 wheel driving makes me an incel they are deliberately pumping stuff that will generate controversy or they think that other people who like those things will also like right wing incel shit and pump it to you.

Maybe it’s cause I watch it through my television app and not my computer or phone but I sure as shit never went looking for it and I can’t seem to get rid of it.

I’ve considered just deleting my account to see what happens, but even when I watch with a vpn without signing in boom horse shit right wing propaganda.
