I've already said I installed a channel blocker to deal with the problem, but it's still annoying that a computer has me in their database as liking right wing shit. If it was limited to just youtube recommendations, it would be nothing, but we're on a slow burn to a dystopian hell. Google has no reason not to use their personality profile of me elsewhere.
I made this comment elsewhere, but I have a very liberal friend who's German, likes German food, and is into wwii era history. Facebook was suggesting neo-nazi groups to him.
I watch a little flashgitz and now I'm being recommended FreedomToons. I get that's some people that like flashgitz are going to be terrible, but I shouldn't have to click Not Interested more then once.
What are you using to block channel's ?
