Thanks for downvoting. I'd do my part, but I don't want my recommended videos to turn to liquid poo poo from watching that.

I watch the majority of gaming videos now off youtube in incognito because my recommendations take a turn for the reich pretty quickly, because Gamers are a social plague upon this world.

Stuff you need to know for a video that put me in a great mood yesterday:

- The San Antonio Spurs's arena has a bat problem.
- in the last few days, they've had to stop the game when bats have flown in, then they fly off.
- The Spurs mascot is The Coyote, basically Wile E. Coyote.
- The players and background reactions are just as good as the main action.

It was way more impressive than it looked on the TV feed.

I forgot to open an incognito tab before watching a scene from The Last Jedi.

Now, no matter what I watch, at least two of the recommended videos are lovely dorks complaining about ess jay dubs in their Star Wars, and one video is ALWAYS "Why The Last Jedi Was A Total Cinematic Failure."

I refuse to click them on general principle, but I'm pretty sure that I'd need to launch a video in order to mark it as something I don't want more of.

Ugh.

Mine was like that for a while but then I must have watched the wrong video because my suggestions went from 0 to "BEN SHAPIRO LITERALLY USES LOGIC TO MURDER A RAMPANT SJW" in like a day. Who fuckin knows, youtube is terrible. I have a friend that works for youtube and is also a raging socialist and I don't understand how he can work for a company that shovels teenagers like coal into the alt-right furnace.

You can remove videos from your watch history and that will adjust the algorithm...somewhat.

Amusingly I had to do that for an install video for my CPU heatsink because YouTube thought I had a massive nerd boner for computer hardware because I watched the video three times, so my recommendations were full of benchmarks and performance reviews and stuff for months afterwards.

I think a lot of it is due to, you guessed it, advertising. There are quite a few companies who all have similar solutions on how to best serve an advertiser's creative without appearing unsafe content. YouTube sells these companies either 1st party access or data through lucrative partnerships. They then take that to pitch assholes like me on their offerings. We run campaigns with them and YouTube still gets a cut of that

Basically, if YouTube were to clean up its act, a lot of companies risk losing money or going out of business.

Google is the world's largest advertising company that happens to make the most popular websites, most popular browser, and most commonly used phone operating system. So they can serve their primary purpose.

An interesting article for people who care about deadly mushrooms - basically, in the 50s and 60s a lot of neighborhoods in the western US/Canada started planting transplanted European trees and now we're figuring out that we also brought over a shitload of Death Cap fungal mass in the roots.

Which was under appeal when he offed himself. So under the law he's technically not a murderer.

A couple months back at work I was watching youtube and started getting a bunch of unskippable, 4 minute long crazy right wing education ads.

Yay for adblock and gently caress google.
