All of a sudden, Youtube's been pushing a lot more right-wing shit into my recommended videos. (hexbear.net)

In the past few days, it's recommended:

Some guy saying vegan diets don't work (news to me, considering I've been on one for years)
A different guy complaining about PETA's new game
A woman saying women in modern games are too ugly
The same woman saying women don't really want to be in charge of anything
Some bullshit from ShoeOnHead
Paul Joseph Watson

Not sure where this all came from. I'd actually enjoyed a very long, pleasant streak where it wasn't recommending me any of this trash. Now they're coming out of the woodwork. Every time I see one of these videos I click the "don't recommend this" button, but there are always more.

I don't know how to explain to the algorithm that I don't want anything with that sigma male theme song with the slow bass music before it goes into that chanting once the female in the video has been owned.

It usually starts with a Vaush video. I swear, if you click on Vaush, the algorithm rightly thinks you're a right wing POS and feeds you more.
