yeah same
i watched too many liberals or millennial college kids get owned videos. so now i get recommended vids by this black pigeon speaks channel where a dude talks about how it's actually not racist to assume blacks are committing crimes because statistically areas with denser minority populations have higher crime rates lol. i don't watch videos of college kids shrieking about poo poo anymore.

youtube thinks i'm an mra or something because it loves to show me FEMINISTS getting OWNED

it does this to me (even after telling them gently caress off i dont wanna watch these stupid videos), but i have my own theory. i think it knows you aren't an MRA and it's showing you them in the hopes that you'll click them out of outrage.

i think the algorithm is programmed to continue feeding internet outrage culture, constantly spewing forth videos that are flagged and identified as likely to piss you off. and that's why i will never disable ublocko and ghostery.

I hate the hair trigger sensitivity of Youtube recommendations. It's gotten to the point where I'll use a private browser window to look at videos that I think might upset my recommendations list.
