There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Are they actual video recommendations by YouTube or are they adverts disguised as videos.
If the are the former press the 3 vertical dots next to the video and select not interested or don't recommend thos channel.
If they are the latter go into your Google ad centre and turn off advert personalisation.
If you still get them, purge your watch history.
Actual videos but no account to block them
Are you watching videos about Asia?
YouTube always starts recommending far right authortian content, because if someone watches that stuff, statistically they'll watch a lot of them. Without an account, they're just exposing you to them hoping you'll bite and get hooked.
Potentially recipes from Asian channels but yeah, just annoying algorithm
It started doing it to me the other day as well and I have a 10 year old account with 0 Asian watch history
South China Sea News and some fucking DPRK News with this "so cute weather girl" and gross propaganda in the comments
Blocked it but no idea where the recommendation came from
Whatever videos you're watching are subject adjacent to these videos.
