PSA: Don't search cute animals on youtube. Your recommendations on the sidebar will have thumbnails of animals in distress for clicks.

I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it’s soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

I have done okay fixing my algo by reporting anything and everything that is even remotely offensive to me. Google seems to get the hint pretty quick that not only do I not want to engage in that content, I’m going to bog down their reporting algo with reports about it.

Same, really wish there was a macro app for it so I didn’t always have to individually select the category of what is offensive on the video
