I've noticed these past years that all recommended vids are just drama e-whoring vids. Channels like (((Pegasus))), that bald faggot whose name I forgot that works at Night Media, the long hair faggot who makes his voice deep on purpose.
Like why is youtube recommending me this garbage? Even when I block them they come back. I just wanna watch comfy videos. I don't care about the life of these faggot normies or some queer being exposed because he likes le ceepee, I don't care.
What is wrong with Youtube mayn.

Anger and controversy equals retention, twitter is the same way. Social media in general really.

I remember when I made an account on Twitter, and I instantly noticed it was giving me ragebait tweets in my recommended. I deleted that shit when I noticed that.

You guys still get yt ads with the new ublock extension?

BlockTube. These days it doesn't work on the sidebar, only for the home page/search page due to YouTube changes, you would need to use an alternative (I don't know one that works, I've tried several). Alternatively, you can use uBlock Origin to block channels or videos in the sidebar: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/youtube#wiki_suggested_videos

As for the recommendations algorithm, I have been blocking PirateSoftware related e-drama like crazy. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Other than that, not much out of the ordinary, but I have noticed that new channel recommendations have slowed down to a crawl. I'm still working on sorting and organizing the thousands I have "collected" back when YouTube opened the floodgates a while back.
