I really want to know why I got this recommended, on a music-related video of all places. Do they not know who I subscribe to?
EDIT: Here’s the video (it’s a US soldiers coming home compilation).
Do they not know who I subscribe to?
They do and they don’t like it
It’s what you expect of YouTube, a propaganda machine. I got suggested numerous times videos of Bolsonaro, especially during election campaigns, and on Facebook it’s usually even worse. I get pushed outright anti-communist propaganda on Facebook. Recently Facebook pushed a page called “Sigma Postagem”
The page Sigma Postagem frequently posts incel, misogynistic, anti-communist, “Christian” and transphobic content, mostly using the image of Patrick Bateman, a known chan culture character. It’s still up, receiving 15 to 30K likes each post and hundreds to thousands of shares.
Here’s a sample, claiming gay people are “losers” for defending Che Guevara, the same old “Guevara killed gays” garbage, which never happened (and we all know capitalism is much more repressive to LGBT people):
Brazilian anti-communist propaganda
“when you feel like a fool,
remember there are gay people who uphold Che Guevara”Why do they always use Bateman for dogshit takes? I use the templates for based quotes.
may I recommend https://invidio.us or https://piped.video
oh I thought the bot would automatically convert the link, but that only works with comments.
oh, I meant that as a recommendation, as a replacement for the official YouTube web front end
gotcha gotcha. making the switch is definitely on my list of things to do.
in case you didn’t know, you can also “subscribe” to channels using RSS feeds without an account
I support this. Also for anyone who has an older PC I highly recommend using VLC or MPV to watch YouTube videos. Native media players tend to use way less resources than anything in a browser.
yes, youtube-dl (or yt-dlp or some other fork) can easily stream videos, and there are browser plugins that open videos in mpv
I think there might be something wrong with your image link.
C’est la vie. I added a link to the video in the post (no need to watch, just so people know what it is).
