Why isn’t it recommending Northernlion :(
youtube algo is such a piece of shit.
Watch lets plays and tech channels, every day, for months.
Accidentally watch 30 seconds of a right wing psychopaths video because they buried the lede with the video title, and all youtube wants to show me for 2 weeks is right wing extremist bullshit, and takes months to get back into getting suggested the shit i normally watch on the daily.
I hate how pro right wing YouTube is. Half the time I make an anti-Trump comment, it gets censored. But plenty of pro-MAGA comments get through constantly.
I can tell that I’m getting censored because my comments simply won’t be there when I go back to the same video from a different account. But it’ll show up in my comment history with a “some comments might not be visible yet” disclaimer at the top. Sometimes if I keep reposting the comment it’ll eventually go through, but by then the video has stopped being promoted by the algorithm and so no one sees it. This only happens to me when I get political.
most websites like youtube/twitter/facebook/etc/etc are all heavily pro-right wing.
They’ve claimed in the past they don’t want to appear “biased” by cracking down on right wingers for rules violations. but honestly, it was obviously bullshit since they had no problem with “biased” appearances when cracking down on any other group, and often for far far far less than what right wingers routinely get away with.
Right wingers are where their bread is buttered. They buy more ads, they run less adblocking, and they click more ads.
You watch one video about old people reacting to rage against the machine and suddenly all the recommended videos are by “reactors” that make $50k a month doing nothing but watching movies with their mouth open
the trick is to ignore your homepage and only browse your subscriptions page
you can use an extension to automatically redirect to your subscriptions page
Whenever this happens, I simply go into my watch history and delete whatever the fuck it was that turned my entire FP into just that one topic.
