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.
The appliances and expensive items get me Everytime 😭.
