Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight
shalafi@lemmy.world 1 week agoKeep saying this, and no one has ever had a plausible answer: YouTube does not do that to me.
I watch lots of gun content, you would think I’d be overrun with right-wing horseshit, but that never happens. I get sane channels, apolitical, learning, legal and fun related stuff, like I like.
Here’s my front page this evening. All interesting except maybe some TV shows I’m not familiar with but have watched clips. Don’t think I’ve done much of anything to curate all that, just let YouTube decide.
The only time I remember the algorithm going nuts was after looking at survival gear and gas masks. LOL, quickly run down with crazier and edgier content. That could have been a rabbit hole, had to cut myself off before it got worse.
Maybe it has to do with my subscriptions?

One possible answer is that there is only one country on this planet that equates gun ownership with politics - from a global point of view it wouldn’t make sense to have an algorithm that connects fire arms to a particular political slant.
