How would something like this get funding?๐ค
Billionaires run superpacs, think tanks and various other reactionary propaganda outlets in order to ensure that everyone's echo chambers, conversations, and thoughts slant to the right.

I hope she becomes a gender neutral 
Our investor class is stuffed with fanatical Christo-fascists.

You have to be really proactive with the "don't recommend channel" button, just off the thumbnails
That still let's the algo allow that topic though. Fortunately I went sicko mode and kept scrolling where I would see the same channel rec twice. First it's 'not interested' then 'don't rec this channel'. This is how I've curated a pretty nice feed for myself.
(Slightly offtopic but) I've spent a lot of time violently wrangling the Youtube recs over the years, but within the past maybe four months I feel like it's kind of beyond what I can control. Watch one video on a Chinese Type 50 and suddenly I have some big silly chud with a giant caliber hunting rifle in my recs. Search up Morrowind stuff even once and it's an AVALANCHE of goddamn skyrim mod videos. I hate it.
It's unusable and so insistent. I watched stuff related to China sometimes to kill time at work (not related to my home profile) and since January it has had the same Uncle Roger short at the top of the recommendeded list.
Like, surely if I haven't watched it by now I'm never going to watch it, right? It tries so hard to railroad you towards higher-view count, higher engagement content that keeps people glooped into the platform.
You would think! Sometimes I'll slam "Not Interested" and it'll still recommend that channel, it's weird. I ain't glooped the way they think I am...
Yeah that's the thing, because I'm at work I'm not logged in so I can't block/hit 'Not interested' on channels and videos. If I clear history and see the default page YouTube shows, it's absolutely galling, like, I didn't realise how glooped in some of my 'friends' were until they started referencing shit I'd seen pushed to the front page that day/day before.
Oh, I guess piped and invidious wouldn't help much in this case. Scary circumstances...
obligatory fuck Uncle Roger
I've reported these videos time after time explaining that I am queer and these anti trans videos and ADS seem to target queer and pro trans videos.
One of the tactics is to attempt to deny pro LGBTQ+ videos ads or turn viewers away. The other is cruelty. YouTube doesn't give a fuck. Google doesn't give a fuck. They see hate $$ and they only see $$.
The hate perpetuates through society, even if you vpn up switch languages they still find hateful trash to throw at you and I'd almost be astonished if I didn't remember fascism is a grift.
Not transphobic stuff, but whenever I search anything one of the results is always the same weird racist (ASIAN STEREOTYPES) video the the thumbnail showing a person driving with a special hat that makes their eyes squinty...
It doesn't matter if I'm searching for cute cat videos or King Gizzard, it always shows up. You can't do the "not interested" on search results either.
What the hell YouTube?
Omg literally same i also made a post about it. Shit sucks so much
