Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead

I’m a lefty tree hugger who subscribes to frugal living and DIY home maintenance channels… I get right wing Jordan Peterson/ Joe Rogan bullshit in my feed every time I log on.

I actively click not interested…it still comes. I clear my browser history often, it still comes.

You should pause your watch history altogether if you’re getting this kinda shit. Youtube has stopped recommend anything to people altogether who have completely paused their watch history.

  How bout instead YT take the fuckong hint when we click “I am not interested in this”? How bout that? Why does a feature which some of us are paying for have to be disabled because YT can’t write a version of their simple algorithm that takes hints?

Your “lefty” content prompts the algorithm to show you opposing content, which is literally what people are clamoring for, because odds are high that you will engage with it, and engagement is the only thing it looks for.

If you only liked Trump shit it’d show you a minority of left-leaning content as well.
