YouTube’s algorithm is garbage though, so that information is worthless. Pretty sure it pushes right wing stuff on anyone remotely interested in politics regardless of affiliation. As for me, my watch history is off, so that isn’t possible in the first place.
I think they flagged me as a gun nutenthusiast because my feed is literally nothing but gun videos. I am American but live in Europe; one of the reasons I moved here is because of the lack of guns!
Oh God, for a while YouTube kept trying to give me right wing videos. You watch one tool review from someone you never heard of before, and all of a sudden, you start getting trad wife videos. Had to install a 3rd party channel blocker to deal with it.
I allways curate my watch history, if I have watched a random video outside of the main focus of my prefered categories/history, I will remove it before yt flips out
I get pushed right wing YT channels regularly. I have told YT not to recommend these specific channels repeatedly, yet I still get them. I will say most of what they recommend is, at least, is the ballpark of things I would be interested in, but it seems it goes out of its way to push right wing content on me regardless of what I specifically tell it to do.
You know, it’s funny, I have NEVER been suggested Rogan. I have thought about this a few times before. With him being soooo big I am always kinda weirded out that I have never seen it in my suggestions.
YT algorithm seems to do alright by me, I’d say for me personally it recommends videos that I have at least a passing interest in about 80% of the time. The other 20 is like old car videos (Seriously I’m the furthest from a “car guy”, I’m not a fuckcars member either, but my interest in the non-tech side of cars is non existent other than “tiny explosions make car go”) and just generally uninteresting stuff.
What it doesn’t do is recommend any right wing crap so ig I got that going for me
Now Twitter otoh, it’s like non stop right wing bullshit and very little interesting stuff. Which btw wasn’t like that before the Elon takeover, my interaction with Twitter before and after is about the same (very little) so the recommendation algorithm shifted completely on its own after his takeover…

Probably misses their old guns
Probably hasn’t seen a “Recommended school shootings near you…” in ages.

I get so many Bro Jorgan videos. I say block the channel, and they still crop up. How many shills does he have repackaging his shit?

Where did I go wrong?!?! I’m going to have to reevaluate my whole life now

It seems fairly solid for me.

Pretty damn solid. I’d go for any of those and I ain’t afeard to admit it.
I was told conservative voices were being silenced though! Was I lied to?!
