Who's that ratfaced mra Nazi on YouTube? I got him recommended after watching the Bill and Ted 3 announcement. It actually told me that when I blocked ratboy's video.

Algorithms support facism AND noisy thumbnails.

Are you talking about reviewbrah from report of the week? Listen i know the guy looks like a rat but that doesnt make him a nazi hes just reviewing the latest taco bell food items.

If the YouTube video has a person's name in the title and you watch more than 10 seconds of it you best believe your recommended videos will be full of videos about that person for the next two weeks

Is there really no way of hiding recommended videos? I've been using an add-on that hides comments for years now, surely we can block more of the UI

From experience of completely erasing my entire youtube history twice in the last month it doesn't help at all. Not even one bit. Actually makes things worse since the few channels it finally realized I didn't want to see (before I started blacklisting poo poo) were back again.
great. i dont know why youre telling me about that. instead of doing that try doing the thing i recommended

you want a history to help it generate recommendations in the first place. thats an additive part of the process along with your subscriptions and playlists. the not interested feature is only a subtractive part

I always watch those stupid horrible watchmojo top ten videos before bed because youtube won't stop recommending them to me and I am a weak piece of poo poo. I hate them but I watch at least one almost every loving night.

I'm in a good place with my youtube recommendations. It just tries to get me to watch things like Can You Melt Obsidian and Cast a Sword? or like What Went Wrong with Street Fighter 2 on the C64? probably because I just watch benevolent gamer videos like LGR and 1000 degree knife episodes

No, I'm talking about the open and literal Nazi who whines about women not dating him. He's usually exposing his chest and he has a super pasty concave ribcage. I don't remember his name and I'll be damned if I'm looking up fascist youtubers on purpose just to find out what it is.

Normal person: *sees Jordan Peterson video* Hmm, not interested in this. I'll just not click it, maybe find a video I know I like. Or maybe I'll go to a specific channel. I can search for something I find interesting. Ah, maybe I'll put down youtube and go do something else.

I can totally see the point in having less algorithmic ad-noise trying to compete for your attention in your life. I haven't blocked this, but maybe I should.

My guilty pleasures are Real Life Lore and Half as Interesting. They’re sorta mainstream clickbaity but genuinely interesting and a nice springboard onto other video topics. I listen to them the most when I’m working.

I basically just watch hour-long compilations of synthwave music, and even then Youtube manages to gently caress it up by randomly pausing the video after 20-50 minutes, adding a popup "Video paused. Do you want to keep watching?". So I have to tab back into youtube and click "Yes", which is also the only option.


Very good feature, love clicking "yes" :thumbsup:
