YouTube algorithm tries really hard to make me far right every few months. It suddenly starts recommending me fox news and "progressives destroyed in a debate" type shit videos. Usually lasts about a day.

I bet somebody is paying for that shit to pop into your feed.
lots of the religious right think that if you just see it, you're going to agree and like, you know, become one of them. Which is funny because I find those kinds of content repulsive.
(Clint's Reptiles, though? oh yeah. dude's a legend.)
Or you'll fall for the bait, hatewatch and comment, which will help boost the video
Nope.
Right click the dots “don’t recommend this channel.”
I practically live by the “don’t recommend” options, although recently I’ve started getting “block this video/channel”, which is peculiar.
That slop doesn't work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.
I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.
Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.
Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.
Weird. Youtube doesn't do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.
No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of "Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!"
Or
"Ubuntu just can't compete with Linux!"
And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you'd ever seen.
Maybe it doesn't suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.
Then there's the weird videos. Not AI. Just......weird.
Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying "pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese...." while making squishing noises with the cheese.
But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.
I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.
Lol is that chode wearing a Templar tunic? That is hilarious. Look at Me! I'm a KNIGHT when I fight all these WAHMEN
Literal white knight.
Much like their knightly standing, it's cheap, flimsy and bought instead of earned.
It's why he looks like a 12 year old with a beard drawn on in markerpen
Ah yes, the Charlie Kirk "we selectively found 10 dumb people to debate and then edited out any part where they come across okay" genre.
Stop using streaming services and set sail
You can also buy drm free music from sites like Bandcamp. I don't feel bad buying from smaller groups. Joyride! might actually notice the $10 from me buying their new album.
Yup. I bailed on my YouTube subscription this year and shifted to community radio and bandcamp.
"The algorithm" pushes outrage content because it's so radioactive that it even gets you to post it here. It's just that potent.
It gets engagement from all sides. Advertisers dream come true.
There's music in your incel propaganda app
Get Tidal or Quobuz or Bandcamp
Tidal used to be the only good music streaming app. Now it is being flooded with AI music in every radio and suggested playlist. Their integrity towards artists didn't last long.
wow that thumbnail is disgusting. 10 fucking hours of this garbage!? and this is "popular" content... which supposedly means people actually watch this.
Quick callout to all the people who nodded along to stuff like this for the last 3 years; then whine about marginalized folks being "so political" about ongoing genocides. </3
10 hours of that is fucking nuts. Also claiming that as dating advice is fucking hilarious.
Is that the show where the guy invites on OF models, then insults and humiliates them? Where the models are only going on there because so many of his listeners then subscribe to their OF?
Yes.
The psychology of those incels would be fascinating to study
They enjoy insulting and humiliating these women for doing sex work, then they go ahead and pay for it
Granted that's been the history of sex work for thousands of years, this is just one of the most direct examples of it. Wonder if it boils down to them wanting to project their own shame and guilt on the women
I started watching a lot of home-improvement type videos on YouTube, and suddenly since then all the ads now assume my dick is horribly bent and doesn’t work, and that I uncontrollably shit and piss myself.
It’s so pervasive I can’t even watch YouTube on my living room TV with my young kids around because I would have to explain way too much to them.
A few years back I dived in to men's mental health on youtube. My husband and I were in a rough patch and I just wanted to see some content created by men to maybe reach/understand him better.
the aglo went.. bananas. I couldnt believe how fast shit went to a scary and innapropriate place. Nothinh was helpful in tje end.
Just pirate your music. It's more ethical than giving money to Google or Spotify. If you want to support some musicians, buying a single piece of merch probably makes them more money than a lifetime of listening to them on a streaming service.
Man who hates a group of people vs group of people.
We should skip to the final evolution of this show where its Man who hates a group of people vs that group of people but all of them have guns.
Why is he wearing Templar tabard? The Templars were barely restrained religious fanatics that hoarded wealth and placed themselves above those around them…oh. So incel republicans?
And now it's in my Lemmy. Don't propagate the brainless cunt and give them another platform, just downvote and ignore.
Youtube music got weird for me, about a week or two ago. I have it as part of my YT subscription, I barely use it. I opened it the other day and they recently started pushing this obviously AI generated like... porn music. I'm not sure how else to describe it.
Such gems like "I flashed me gash & got free bread"

Yes, I did listen to one of them out of curiosity, and now it won't stop recommending the filth even though I've blocked 20 of the songs and said don't show me stuff like this.
Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer, dude. All of them actually pay the artists for their streams. I've used two first and both of them are great for music.
Came in to this thread not knowing what an Andrew Wilson was. Still don’t but, feel better about it.
Nah, after trump was elected, every now and then YouTube wanna sneak in some incel stuff.. It's fucked up, and I hate I have to still use youtube in some occasions.
Incel propaganda on an app developed by Alphabet? Surely the first time this has ever happened.
Chad templar vs augmented bossoms
That's why I prefer to store my music locally. Soulseek is the answer
Am I the only one who stores music just as discrete files, stored in my filesystem, in folders? Don't need any app for that. Works great. 100% cross-system compatible, works on every operating system and every device.
YouTube Music is filled with AI generated songs with straight up hentai album covers
yeah, yt music sucks now. Honestly I should just switch back to having local media.
Degoogle time.
Yarrr!
Good thing is that you are using Android https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.maloy.muzza
Speaking of propaganda, I've been getting pro ICE propaganda on the Plex service from a group called "American Sovereignty". Blatantly racist ads.
I can't prove it but I just know they are making money on insecurities of young men and radicalizing them in the process.
