From under a max Miller video about waffles??
Bruh there’s more
these are AI generated videos meant to garner views and ad sense dollarinos. They do nothing except waste your time, and probably lie to you.
Yes all those “list” videos are narrated by AI robots and I’ve learned to avoid the temptation and never click those.
they’re all pretty much ewaste on delivery. Thankfully there are a lot of good smaller channels, who actually produce content out there though.

This is why I switched to NewPipe, I’m sick of constantly being fed recommendations. I just want to watch the creators I like and find new ones organically and when ive watched that content I don’t need to keep watching some other BS.
Me too man
Is the right one that stage from Mortal Kombat 2
Just yesterday I thought about how Musk can’t become president because he’s not born in America.
I thank god everyday
Google wants to radicalize you into conspiracy bullshit because those rubes are easy to sell stuff and get to watch endless videos.
Google just recommends me videos about dishwashers.
Not that I’m complaining.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
We got turned into Technology Connections recently. It’s really good. Highly recommend.
Yeah I’ve binged pretty much his whole channel.
I put him in the same catagory as Cathode Ray Dude and LGR.
Check out Techmoan too.
Any VWestlife fans in the house?
goes hard
Report them, and say don’t recommend. It’s our civic duty to spam reports so they get taken down automatically. That will increase the amount it suggests to you but to stop that make playlist that can run overnight, fill it with good shit you’ve already watched so you don’t miss anything new and just let that run. It will hopefully clean that shit out a bit.
God how I love using newpipe or invidious to watch yt instead. Whenever I feel like finding stuff, the recommendations are always related to the video currently being watched, which can lead to interesting rabbit holes.
I remember about a decade ago I made an r/AskReddit post that was called something like “who would be the real life Batman?”
Loads of people said it would be Elon Musk and were getting moist over the guy. I wonder how many of those people still actually like him, and how many have fallen further down his rabbit hole.
At best, Musk is Tony Stark during his alcoholic arc: emotionally unstable, incapable of good decisions and still rich enough to cause trouble to everyone
This is why I don’t use anything with recommendation algorithm anymore.
The recommendation algorithm are so aggression not only about the thing you click (accidentally touched on a ritz cracker ad, now I will throw up if I see any more cracker ads) also about baits like these.
Now I use newpipe/mastodon/lemmy, I can click on whatever I want, and not to worry about stupid recommendations.
Blocking problem YouTubers has been great for my mental health
I use an ad blocker and it pretty much just blocks the entire logarithm
Now your youtube is complete linear.
Man that’d make my browsing experience exponentially better
You mean algorithm?
I haven’t been getting that level of craziness yet, but I just always ignore practically everything that isn’t someone I’ve subbed to and isn’t about a cartoon/anime I like, isn’t from someone I have already seen before and like but ain’t subbed to, and isn’t a game/topic I’m interested in.
I’ve seen some of the people I see on the front page of the Odysee app that I’ve never interacted with in any other way than scrolling past them appear on the front page of my patched yt app. It’s insane, but it won’t be a big issue for me, in terms of strictly just using the app, until they replace every suggestion with those nutjobs.
