You will never see a more disgusting place than YouTube. An algorithm that pushes the most disgusting content like gore and trauma and the comment section of even the most benign video will have some chud shitting on feminists or whatever with a million updoots. Absolute shithole of a content farm website.

[Sexism] I was just watching a wholesome video of a rooster protecting the flock from a hawk, and the highest comment was like “Hurr duurrr I bet this triggers feminists seeing hens run in fear while the rooster takes charge.”

Bruh, no, what is triggering is how illiterate misogynists are about the animal world. Imagine choosing hens as your proof that women are weak. Hens, the gender of chickens that also attack predators regularly. Hens, the gender of chickens that are where scientists came up with the term ‘Alpha’. Hens, the gender of chickens that can literally change their gender.

link because I’m not a lib, this person deserves bullying tbh but I doubt it’s worth wasting time on

And then, to top it all off, in the recommendeds was a thumbnail of a real picture of a squirrel gored up after being shot with a pellet gun, with the title “Watch this before YouTube deletes it” smuglord

So yeah, youtube is fucked up trash.

    I have never seen any of the content you are talking about on YouTube. My “front page” is mostly movie essays, music production, some standup comedy, and tech reviews mainly from GamersNexus. I’ll agree the comments can be ass sometimes but that’s also dependent on the size of the channel and content of the video. Just out of curiosity do you have an account and subscribe to channels?

        Not sure if you meant music production. The movie channels I watch are video essays highlighting different techniques and why some things work better than other. For that CinemaStix and Thomas Flight are my favorites. If I want something a little more silly I’ll do Filmento. Corridor Crew is also solid as the only “react” channel that actually breaks down vfx, CGI, animation, and stunts. A lot of the time they also have industry guests providing insight.

        For music production I like Venus Theory, In The Mix, and a little bit of You Suck At Producing.

        Having subscribed to all of these channels the algorithm will also throw some gems from lesser known channels in my feed. Beyond that it’s not difficult keep my feed clean by using “don’t recommend channel” if I get something I dont like.
