My recommendations are being taken over by middle age grouchy guy comedians who I'm quite fond of but I'm sick of being bombarded by them. I used to refrain from clicking "not interested" because I'm fond enough of them but now I'm too sick of it.
But Family Guy recommendations still keep coming back eventually. Fuck off.

There are so many accounts that isolate Louis CK bits into little videos for easy views. Same with Bill Burr. I'm not sure why they're flooding my recommendations.

Perhaps if I watch more dog and cat videos I can steer things a bit.

Maybe there's some angry guys working at youtube who're influencing things.

It seems to be working! The funny animal videos are rolling in now.

ha ha, i'm guessing none of you folks like videogames. i had to install custom code in my browser to disable youtube's recommendation engine because it's being gamed so hard by fascists. i watch a metroid speedrun and all of a sudden it's giving all sorts of videos about why women are horrible. at the same time google's modus operandi is apparently to become more and more intrusive into its users lives, apparently completely blind to the fact that its algorithms are a profoundly effective method for spreading hatred or that there might be something, uh, wrong with its algorithms at all.

I've got a NowTV streaming box and somehow the YouTube app is far more varied with its recommendations and better reflects what I've been watching than youtube on a computer.

I think something worse than Google is going on, I just wonder when it's going to be fixed or when other groups will learn to do whatever the anti-feminists are doing.

That custom code sounds good because I really miss youtube's older recommendation habits, but I'm shit with computers. It's as if they wanted to narrow down everyone's world. How on earth is the current model going to benefit them or big businesses?

I watch some videogame stuff.

I've watched a share of Metroid speedruns myself and I'm not necessarily having the same problem. However the men's rights anti-feminazi anti-SJW content does appeal to certain demographics that might also be fans of grinding single player games in the rooms for hours and hours. Not that it would be fair to assume that of anyone by default.

hell, maybe it's not the metroid. that's what kills me- there's no fucking transparency, i don't ever know why it's suddenly decided i'm into fascism. today it doesn't think i'm a fascist and is recommending me a noam chomsky video. and i probably don't even notice being recommended a noam chomsky video because it doesn't bother me, even though i'm still not going to watch it. because i don't watch a lot of political shit on youtube. why is it recommending me a noam chomsky video? i don't know. i look at my history and it's got "giant bat-eating centipede". maybe that's why. maybe it's the video of ned doheny's "get it up for love". who can tell?

"It's as if they wanted to narrow down everyone's world. How on earth is the current model going to benefit them or big businesses?"

I was referring to google/youtube here, should have noted. You'd think they'd show me more film and music stuff which might actually make me buy more things.

Now that I've mostly got rid of the grouchy guy comedy, I'm left with mostly chat show stuff, mixtures of comedy, Ted talks, Mark Kermode, Zero Punctuation and Big Think. I consider it a success when I get a Trailers From Hell recommendation because I've watched loads of them. I've never subscribed to anything, maybe I should start and it might influence my recommendations.

I get that Noam Chomsky stuff too.

What's with those horny video titles vicariously living through Craig Ferguson when he interviews women?

Ha,I get those too. It'll be like "Flirt Master: Craig Ferguson FLUSTERS Kirsten Dunst by mentioning her BOOBS"

I can imagine this guy who hangs around other men who talk about their latest shags and he just bigs them up and rubs his thighs.

Is the rules update going to help lessen the shite-wing recommendations?

mildly offended that the yt recommendation algorithm thinks I'm part of the target audience for this dreck

I get these all the time when I'm looking for news videos on youtube (in order to easily rip the audio for mixes) - half the time it's a robot voice reading an article about the video. Somebody's idea of a good grift I guess.

Imagine having a youtube channel devoted to defending Mel Gibson

for the past couple months the yt algorithm has been recommending me this clown who calls himself THE STREET CONSERVATIVE (formerly known as THE MASCULINE SEQUITUR). afaict his shtick is that he's an alpha MRA/Trumpy who speaks bitter truths to intellectually inferior MRAs/Trumpies:

The best way to describe The Angryman is a force of nature. Since 2015 Angryman hit the public square on YouTube and various social media platforms and has been growing ever since. A well-traveled man with a wide diversity of life experiences, The Angryman has dedicated himself to helping frustrated men all of the globe achieve their goals and become better, stronger men. As a content creator and influencer, The Angryman has help to change dozens of lives. Regardless of how much his celebrity grows he continues to remain humble and stay the course.
His mission to build a platform for male media has afforded him the privilege of rubbing elbows with some of the biggest names in the Manosphere. It’s also afforded him quite a few enemies. Either way, hate him or love him, The Angryman here to stay.

he mostly just sits in his car smoking cigars and livestreaming his rants, and he hasa surprisingly wide range of merch for a small youtuber. sadly he's been forced to put the MRA stuff on the back burner in order to deliver true facts about the stolen election. like an idiot I'll click on one of his streams to rubberneck from time to time, which only encourages the algorithm to recommend more of his content :-/
