Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Youtube is loving stupid. Every loving time I go to the main page, there it is, recommending me Family Guy: Funniest Moments yet again. Apparently I am not the only one who gets this. Youtube seems obsessed with recommending Family Guy bullshit to people. I don't understand it.
Recently it has been recommending me clips from the Eric Andre Show, despite the fact that I have never watched any videos involving Eric Andre or his show. I have never even typed the name of that show until just now. And yet youtube insists that the Eric Andre Show is something I would like.

So, what does youtube endlessly recommend to you guys?

trust me, I'm a cat.

Few months ago YT had a hiccup or something and reccomended me a channel full of asian softcore porn dramas. The comment section was full of folks going "wtf why yt reccomended me porn".

Also for some odd reason from time to time I get conspiracy videos about how liberal media lies to people and manipulates the news, strangely enough those videos are never critical about the governing party???

YouTube recommends me a million vaporwave and future funk tracks and also an occasional fighting games tournament stream.

It's a great platform for sure

If I were you I'd watch the Cars videos to cheer yourself up from the fact that you date women with kids

It recommended me some mislabelled full version of Starship Troopers. I keep that tab opened so I can use their recommends to fish for other full movies.

I get videos about war games, cults and Mormons. I also watch a lot of videos about these subjects.

IMO I think OP needs to watch fewer Family Guy videos.

Lots and lots of Minecraft videos and lists of everyday things I'm supposedly doing the wrong way. I haven't even played or watched Minecraft in over four years and I never do things wrong. :chloe:

The recommended list was so much better a year ago, when it didn't try to psychoanalyze me. I even clicked on stuff back then, good job YT

Dawkins and other insufferable ratheists sometimes shows, as well as right wing/MRA pseudointellectuals. Mostly the recommendations are alright, today I got recommendations for clips with Boyd Crowder, cool animals and classic Sopranos scenes, not bad.
