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've had to be pretty aggressive in clicking the "don't recommend" button lately, I've been watching a lot of cooking videos in the last month or so and it seems that that's enough to start my recommendations down the generic food video -> BIG MANLY ALL-MEAT DIET -> woke politics destroyed the West pipeline. I just want to watch chinese vegetable cooking videos and magic the gathering streamers, please stop filling my feed with shorts of Joe Rogan talking about why steak is the only way to prevent the gay agenda from winning.
