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?
Yeah. Reddit has also been trying to recommend anarchism subreddits to me for some reason. I have a feeling their recommendation algorithms are specifically tuned to try to make MLs more useful to the bourgeoisie by making them anarchists or libs.
Lol, most leftists are radlibs, that’s why. The algorithm thinks you are one because it doesn’t have a marketing profile for marxists.
Try Slide for Reddit or use old.reddit.com, both don’t have Reddit’s “here what you might like” bullshit.
I cannot use Slide for Reddit because I exclusively have Linux devices (No Android, iOS, etc.), but I can use old reddit, I forgot about that since new reddit has been all I’ve ever used. The only annoying thing about it is that it still doesn’t handle code block markdown properly and they refuse to fix it.
If you can install fdroid you could use infinity for reddit, it’s pretty cool
F-Droid isn’t going to run on Linux. I can use containerization technologies to run Android in Linux using something like Anbox or Waydroid, but that’s a lot of processing power wasted on Reddit, so I don’t particularly want to do that unless I have other uses for Android, which I don’t right now.
Or even RedReader. Both are pretty good.
