All of a sudden, Youtube's been pushing a lot more right-wing shit into my recommended videos. (hexbear.net)

In the past few days, it's recommended:

Some guy saying vegan diets don't work (news to me, considering I've been on one for years)
A different guy complaining about PETA's new game
A woman saying women in modern games are too ugly
The same woman saying women don't really want to be in charge of anything
Some bullshit from ShoeOnHead
Paul Joseph Watson

Not sure where this all came from. I'd actually enjoyed a very long, pleasant streak where it wasn't recommending me any of this trash. Now they're coming out of the woodwork. Every time I see one of these videos I click the "don't recommend this" button, but there are always more.

I just wish I could tell YouTube exactly what I want to watch. It makes no sense. We both want the same things out of YouTube, for me to be as engaged as possible, for as long as possible, as often as possible. Then why keep showing me irrelevant shit, the worst trash from tiktok, videos I already watched, when they know exactly what kind of videos I spend hours watching??? If they would actually get their shit together, I wouldn't even mind paying for their service, but it's utter crap!
