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.

    And now it’s in my Lemmy. Don’t propagate the brainless cunt and give them another platform, just downvote and ignore.

    Yet another reason I’m dropping streaming in favor of ripping CDs and listening to locally stored files, like it’s 2009 again

    Is that the show where the guy invites on OF models, then insults and humiliates them? Where the models are only going on there because so many of his listeners then subscribe to their OF?

        Sometimes I wish I didn’t have a conscience. I could be so rich if I didn’t have things like guilt or shame.

        The psychology of those incels would be fascinating to study

        They enjoy insulting and humiliating these women for doing sex work, then they go ahead and pay for it

        Granted that’s been the history of sex work for thousands of years, this is just one of the most direct examples of it. Wonder if it boils down to them wanting to project their own shame and guilt on the women

    I found myself subscribed to amazon and other channels because the skip button is right next to the subscribe button on their ads. And i have relatively no control over the recommendation system, that has been almost completely automated. Cherry on top, i get recommended alpha male crap even without watching any of the videos. The last one was “why japanese men are like this today” - examples provided were men from ww2. My guy, ww2 japanese men brought destruction to the country like no other generation. They weren’t manly, they served as sacrificeable units. If anything, that was one of the biggest generational failures. Something deeply human is the fragility and power of fear. And forcine young men to go through traumatic experiences isn’t the way. It’s not, it’s not fun. You’re not tough you’re something else.

    Youtube music got weird for me, about a week or two ago. I have it as part of my YT subscription, I barely use it. I opened it the other day and they recently started pushing this obviously AI generated like… porn music. I’m not sure how else to describe it.

    Such gems like “I flashed me gash & got free bread”

    Yes, I did listen to one of them out of curiosity, and now it won’t stop recommending the filth even though I’ve blocked 20 of the songs and said don’t show me stuff like this.

      I will trade all the dumb chuds in the world for another November Kelly podcast. If this is the price we have to pay, I will simply live with the knowledge that these dipshits exist and settle in for another six hours of WTYP.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      There isn’t a single device in my house that shows Youtube ads anymore. Firestick, my phone, my PC, nothing.

      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.

        As with dating apps, if the mental health recommendations actually worked then engagement would go down. I doubt they even need a human putting their thumb on the scales; the algorithm optimizes engagement in whatever way it needs to.

      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…
