I've carefully curated things to where my feed is actually pretty good and I've had little to no problems with it. Then out of nowhere I'm getting all these transphobic recommendations, especially detransitioner content. It was a wild departure from the usual and way beyond the amount of topic specific recs that I'll get if I look up something specific. It was really gross and I was already having a dysphoria day. Fuck YouTube.

(Slightly offtopic but) I've spent a lot of time violently wrangling the Youtube recs over the years, but within the past maybe four months I feel like it's kind of beyond what I can control. Watch one video on a Chinese Type 50 and suddenly I have some big silly chud with a giant caliber hunting rifle in my recs. Search up Morrowind stuff even once and it's an AVALANCHE of goddamn skyrim mod videos. I hate it.

It's unusable and so insistent. I watched stuff related to China sometimes to kill time at work (not related to my home profile) and since January it has had the same Uncle Roger short at the top of the recommendeded list.

Like, surely if I haven't watched it by now I'm never going to watch it, right? It tries so hard to railroad you towards higher-view count, higher engagement content that keeps people glooped into the platform.

You would think! Sometimes I'll slam "Not Interested" and it'll still recommend that channel, it's weird. I ain't glooped the way they think I am...

Yeah that's the thing, because I'm at work I'm not logged in so I can't block/hit 'Not interested' on channels and videos. If I clear history and see the default page YouTube shows, it's absolutely galling, like, I didn't realise how glooped in some of my 'friends' were until they started referencing shit I'd seen pushed to the front page that day/day before.

Oh, I guess piped and invidious wouldn't help much in this case. Scary circumstances...
