I use YouTube without an account most of the time either through a browser (incognito) or NewPipe or PipePipe (Android), which means that the algorithm doesn’t adapt to me.
So, every time I see a video, I know that the recommends are unadulterated algorithmic rage. I may be watching a gardening video, there will be some “Women are Evil” type of video, or “random guy talks about why [thing that women do] is wrong, bad and immoral.” I am even seeing a comeback of those “sjw cringe compilation” videos - what’s this, 2016???
There are also A LOT, and I mean, a fuckton lot, of trad Catholic content being pushed. Mind you, I even set my YouTube to different countries and languages, and it’s being spilled that way too.
Fucking nightmare.
I don’t want to end it in a low note, so I will also acknowledge that there’s quite a bit of left, openly socialist, communist content, too. 10 years ago there was none of that, the right could roam free (I even identified as one, lmao). Contradictions of capitalism, I guess.
Am I mistaking it for Zucc and facebook, but didn’t youtube also say that with Trump winning they were welcoming back shit like fake news and racism on their platform?
Fake news never went away. The New York Crimes still posting articles about Palestine being a jungle of wasps that needs to be burned down
