    I keep getting videos of Rogan pushed on YouTube, while I constantly mark them as “not interested” of report them as “fake news”. He’s like a horrible decease you never can get rid of.

          I made a typo because I’m dyslectic and I got corrected. The sentence was “he is like a disease-” and your response is “wishful thinking”? So, you wish he was like a disease? I kinda feel like he already is, so your wish came through. But to what you meant, it’s really horrible to have a disease, wishing that onto the people you oppose makes you as bad as they are. I just wish he would see the harm he does, he would see the world as it really is instead of his vision which is through very polarized glasses, and I wish he would stop spreading his BS.

            I think they meant that your typo: “decease” is the wishful thinking. As in they wish he was deceased.

      Your mistake is interacting with them at all.

      The algorithms know that people who dislike something enough to click a button will be primed to potentially do something like hate-watch or open the video to leave a comment, etc so by interacting you are telling it you were emotionally affected.

      The best way to avoid getting suggested videos like this is to completely ignore them. Do not open it, do not click any buttons on it or hover over it long enough for the preview to start.

      Eventually you’ll only see suggestions like that if you are a regular watcher of videos on the opposite end of the spectrum.

        I’ve been telling YouTube not to recommend these types of videos and it seems to work well with minimal effort on my part. When I look at the homepage, it’s all cooking and math videos, and it’s been that way for years now.

      Ironically, you marking them as not interested and reporting them probably counts as engagement to show those videos more often.

        No, YouTube just has an (among other examples) “young white western male” problem.

        The algorithm works hard to jam you into a pigeon hole no matter how abhorrent you find the pigeon shit contained therein.

          It’s an AI problem. Because the algorithm only looks at things you have done, which after some time include you looking at its recommendations, it cannot see past the bucket it has you in.

            It’s more about your demographic. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never watched anything even remotely related to JRE, if it’s popular around your local area it’ll be recommended to you.

        It shouldn’t, I don’t see them anymore by choosing the don’t recommend this channel to me anymore. And I do bij so watch a ton of bjj videos, so anytime some channel pops up that uses his clips it’s recommended to me. Still his own channel and that main clipping channel are things I haven’t seen in a long time.
