its either that or, thirst trap videos. i dont log in, so i just close the browser and reopen youtube and its gone.
The worst thing I’ve found with the algorithm is that it continually tries to steer me towards right-wing crap like Jordan Petersen, even though it must know my sympathies are with the opposite end of the political spectrum. And if ever you come to YouTube with no account on a clean machine, it pushes almost entirely right-wing propaganda videos.

I noticed that they show up in the next section of video game related videos before I blockeded those type of channels. It is interesting that video game clips tend to result in those type of podcasters showing up in those feeds, which is likely due to the strategy used by those groups using games to try to reach that demographic.

Holy shit, yes. You can watch leftist content for years, but heaven forbid you watch one gaming-related video and it assumes you’re an alt-right racist gamergate incel.
