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?
Idk, as long as you don’t watch anything political you shouldn’t see that crap. Algorithms of YouTube are forming a very noice tight recommendations bubble for you that is rarely entered by anything else.
Maybe it’s just the Russian thing tho, because our sector of YouTube is kinda low on such crap and those few morons who produce that kind of content are watched by a rather well-defined equally moronic audience who rarely watch anything else, so getting those vids in your algorithms is kinda hard.
