PSA: Don't search cute animals on youtube. Your recommendations on the sidebar will have thumbnails of animals in distress for clicks. (hexbear.net)

I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it's soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

There finding people who put animals in bad situations only to rescue them on video for clicks

I was gunna comment this too, it’s becoming a real serious problem. These disgusting people saw how lucrative these animal rescue videos have become and have started intentionally putting these animals (usually young puppies and kittens) in danger and hurting them only to act like they’re “saving” them. It’s so horrific.

Its crazy. Those vids have millions of views. Then others see this as a lane and do it too

I mean, people have done this with their own kids. Not that it makes either situation better, just unsurprising.
