It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.
Speaking of propaganda, I’ve been getting pro ICE propaganda on the Plex service from a group called “American Sovereignty”. Blatantly racist ads.
This podcast recommendation nonsense is in Spotify too.
I’ve never listened to a podcast from Spotify and it’s impossible to turn off the suggestions.
I’m thinking of switching to Deezer as I think they are a pure music service.
Hey that’s that guy who can’t open an olive jar!
- revanced or morhpe modded app
- any kind of foss youtube player on fdroid
- other music streaming services
- getting mad without searching for a solution
which did you choose?
There’s music in your incel propaganda app
Get Tidal or Quobuz or Bandcamp
Tidal used to be the only good music streaming app. Now it is being flooded with AI music in every radio and suggested playlist. Their integrity towards artists didn’t last long.
Degoogle time.
Yarrr!
I started watching a lot of home-improvement type videos on YouTube, and suddenly since then all the ads now assume my dick is horribly bent and doesn’t work, and that I uncontrollably shit and piss myself.
It’s so pervasive I can’t even watch YouTube on my living room TV with my young kids around because I would have to explain way too much to them.
A few years back I dived in to men’s mental health on youtube. My husband and I were in a rough patch and I just wanted to see some content created by men to maybe reach/understand him better.
the aglo went… bananas. I couldnt believe how fast shit went to a scary and innapropriate place. Nothinh was helpful in tje end.
Don’t tolerate ads
I also watch a lot of home improvement videos on YouTube, and I’ve never seen one of these ads that you speak of. I think there may be some sort of cross-watching or other things going on in your life that you are either unaware of or unwilling to admit on the internet…
If you’re ok with a little piracy, this exists: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dd3boh.outertune
And then you can also buy your favorite albums/songs on bandcamp to actually support the artists!
That guy is probably as incel as Trump is common men’s ally. And the images of women are carefully chosen to stoke the sexual frustration that the incels are incapable of resolving without resorting to violence.
Do you know what Incel even means? Trump is definitely not a incel.
That’s not what he said at all. Go back and reread that sentence. He said that person, is as much of an incel. As Trump, is a common man.
Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer, dude. All of them actually pay the artists for their streams. I’ve used two first and both of them are great for music.
Just pirate your music. It’s more ethical than giving money to Google or Spotify. If you want to support some musicians, buying a single piece of merch probably makes them more money than a lifetime of listening to them on a streaming service.
Money isnt that relevant directly, streaming is good for optics, you get a lot of streams you are more likely to get live shows and have your music pushed out to others that will go there? It’s good for discoverability and credibility.
wow that thumbnail is disgusting. 10 fucking hours of this garbage!? and this is “popular” content… which supposedly means people actually watch this.
Quick callout to all the people who nodded along to stuff like this for the last 3 years; then whine about marginalized folks being “so political” about ongoing genocides. </3
10 hours of that is fucking nuts. Also claiming that as dating advice is fucking hilarious.
Man who hates a group of people vs group of people.
We should skip to the final evolution of this show where its Man who hates a group of people vs that group of people but all of them have guns.
Or man vs car!
Man vs reeducation camp guards
Chad templar vs augmented bossoms
YouTube algorithm tries really hard to make me far right every few months. It suddenly starts recommending me fox news and “progressives destroyed in a debate” type shit videos. Usually lasts about a day.
I bet somebody is paying for that shit to pop into your feed.
lots of the religious right think that if you just see it, you’re going to agree and like, you know, become one of them. Which is funny because I find those kinds of content repulsive.
(Clint’s Reptiles, though? oh yeah. dude’s a legend.)
Sad thing is it works on a lot of naive young people.
But this is because of the naivety and lack of critical thinking skills. Not because they are young.
Rather, because public education has been gutted to prevent kids from being taught such skills.
And even more egregiously, taught to be incurious. To not ask questions. To obey.
This is not just because of public education gutting. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, even in places with the highest ranked public schools on earth.
the simple truth is bombarding someone with a certain way of seeing the world makes them more likely to see the world that way. It’s propaganda, plain and simple.
That slop doesn’t work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.
I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.
Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.
Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.
Or you’ll fall for the bait, hatewatch and comment, which will help boost the video
Nope.
Right click the dots “don’t recommend this channel.”
I practically live by the “don’t recommend” options, although recently I’ve started getting “block this video/channel”, which is peculiar.
The religious zealots would HATE Clint, because he has out his rational mind and scientific literature explanation of the universe before what the Bible says
I mean, I wasn’t trying to suggest they don’t.
Just that his YT channel is alway good for a timeline cleanse.
I feel like the middle-aged guy that I am, because it keeps suggesting lawncare, forging (“can I melt and cast himilayan salt rocks?” He did, it was fantastic), silly engineering (“I’m going to see if I can 3d print a rifle that will make a nerf dart break the speed of sound…”), dnd (I don’t even play dnd, and i still enjoy the videos), and Jon Stewart. And… a weird mix of civil rights people showing bad behavior of police, and police supporter showing bad behavior of people (honestly both are entertaining, because police are awful and so are people).
But it doesn’t even try for that right-wing bullshit.
i just refresh the page, and keep clicking on videos in my niche to get rid of it. im never logged in though, youtube is liking trying to capture some people that are browsing, and hook them in. people that are logged in have thier feeds curated to them that can ignore right wing videos.
Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.
No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”
Or
“Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”
And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.
Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.
Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.
Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.
But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.
I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.
Mine does the same with the left and feminism. Which is fine. The only time it’s gotten sketchy is after my deep dive into the manosphere and their birth rate decline stuff.
it’s just rage bait. I guess nazis get “woke” videos, or whatever they consider the other side. goog only cares about money. If they would want to convert you they would show only a bit more conservative each time and slowly get to the far side. Showing the total opposite hardly convinces anyone, basically the viewer would have to accept that all their previous believes were false, it rarely happens.

I guess I should be proud YT knows better than to try that with me?
