In the past few days, it’s recommended:

  • Some guy saying vegan diets don’t work (news to me, considering I’ve been on one for years)
  • A different guy complaining about PETA’s new game
  • A woman saying women in modern games are too ugly
  • The same woman saying women don’t really want to be in charge of anything
  • Some bullshit from ShoeOnHead
  • Paul Joseph Watson

Not sure where this all came from. I’d actually enjoyed a very long, pleasant streak where it wasn’t recommending me any of this trash. Now they’re coming out of the woodwork. Every time I see one of these videos I click the “don’t recommend this” button, but there are always more.

  • Huh… My feed is actually pretty good. I get really aggressive with the “don’t recommend channel” option. 🤷‍♀️ It tried to purge Hasan from my feed for a while though, couldn’t find shit even though there’s multiple channels putting out several videos a day. It’s back to normal though. Search function is still shit as always.

      yeah it periodically suppresses leftist creators, especially if you’ve recently watched a few videos in a row from more lib channels. I just search and watch a few videos from specific leftist channels and it comes back.

      A lot of times they don’t even allow me to do that. Or it’s “sponsored” much like the plethora of “Stick your dick in Hydrogen Peroxie or Isopropyl Alcohol to get hard instantly” that I’ve reported as false and dangerous medical info. It’s a whole whack a mole / shell game with these assholes. They’ll just file another form. Switch their name. Find a foreign company ad mill to hide behind. So exhausting.
