2 years ago I went to youtube without logging into my account. The amount of right wing manosphere crap being recommended to new accounts was frightening. Within 5 minutes there was a video playing of how women should be subservient to men because their role is basically a house cleaning baby factory with no free will.
I genuinely think google should be sued the everliving shit out of them for allowing this crap to be pushed. They looked at what facebook did and went “Oh, that’s great. Let’s do that as well!”
I just went there after years of avoidance because my kids are there are lot. I needed to see. They’re not there anymore. Manosphere, I hate those different than me, racism, outright hatred. It’s fucked.
I don’t regularly use it, but I run into yt in search results every now and then. If I’ve looked, the front page and lots of recommends have always looked like cancer, I’ve never seen anything like that. Could it be a localized thing?
