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 usually don’t login to youtube (use one of those login bypass thingies and adblock) and even I’m getting those. I just use youtube to figure out how to fix stuff and listen to music.
