I swear, I’ll be watching a video about Linux, or cooking, or science, or cute animals and BAM! “Why China is the Devil” or “We Should Nuke North Korea” video smack in the middle of the recommendations! I don’t even watch any political stuff on YouTube (because it’s a shitshow), and I have my browser set to auto-delete all of Google’s cookies as soon as the browser is closed. Doesn’t matter if I’m on the actual YouTube website, NewPipe, or Invidious. Prey tell, YouTube, how is “Top 10 Reasons Why China Should Be Mainland Taiwan” at all a related video to “Maintainable Object Oriented Development in PHP, Part 4”? Especially when you somehow always fail to fetch the next part of the series for me?

    I got recommended a video with 2.5k views by “abortion abolitionists” who made the claim that being pro-life is not enough and that they needed holy warriors to go out and physically “stop the murders from taking place”. Disgusting, fascist, terrorist shit. 2,000 views! Why the fuck shove this down my throat youtube?

        You can’t say Fuck on YouTube or call someone a Nazi, but there are entire video pedo rings that they actively ignore and punish you for talking about.
