It's YouTube music, which is showing popular "podcasts" on its explore page. Must be just because it's popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

YouTube algorithm tries really hard to make me far right every few months. It suddenly starts recommending me fox news and "progressives destroyed in a debate" type shit videos. Usually lasts about a day.

    I bet somebody is paying for that shit to pop into your feed.

    lots of the religious right think that if you just see it, you're going to agree and like, you know, become one of them. Which is funny because I find those kinds of content repulsive.

    (Clint's Reptiles, though? oh yeah. dude's a legend.)

    Or you'll fall for the bait, hatewatch and comment, which will help boost the video

    That slop doesn't work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.

    I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.

    Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.

    Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.

    Weird. Youtube doesn't do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.

    No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of "Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!"

    Or

    "Ubuntu just can't compete with Linux!"

    And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you'd ever seen.

    Maybe it doesn't suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.

    Then there's the weird videos. Not AI. Just......weird.

    Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying "pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese...." while making squishing noises with the cheese.

    But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.

    I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.

    "The algorithm" pushes outrage content because it's so radioactive that it even gets you to post it here. It's just that potent.

    wow that thumbnail is disgusting. 10 fucking hours of this garbage!? and this is "popular" content... which supposedly means people actually watch this.

    Quick callout to all the people who nodded along to stuff like this for the last 3 years; then whine about marginalized folks being "so political" about ongoing genocides. </3

    Is that the show where the guy invites on OF models, then insults and humiliates them? Where the models are only going on there because so many of his listeners then subscribe to their OF?

    The psychology of those incels would be fascinating to study

    They enjoy insulting and humiliating these women for doing sex work, then they go ahead and pay for it

    Granted that's been the history of sex work for thousands of years, this is just one of the most direct examples of it. Wonder if it boils down to them wanting to project their own shame and guilt on the women

    Yet another reason I'm dropping streaming in favor of ripping CDs and listening to locally stored files, like it's 2009 again

    Just pirate your music. It's more ethical than giving money to Google or Spotify. If you want to support some musicians, buying a single piece of merch probably makes them more money than a lifetime of listening to them on a streaming service.

    I started watching a lot of home-improvement type videos on YouTube, and suddenly since then all the ads now assume my dick is horribly bent and doesn’t work, and that I uncontrollably shit and piss myself.

    It’s so pervasive I can’t even watch YouTube on my living room TV with my young kids around because I would have to explain way too much to them.

    Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer, dude. All of them actually pay the artists for their streams. I've used two first and both of them are great for music.

    Youtube music got weird for me, about a week or two ago. I have it as part of my YT subscription, I barely use it. I opened it the other day and they recently started pushing this obviously AI generated like... porn music. I'm not sure how else to describe it.

    Such gems like "I flashed me gash & got free bread"

    Yes, I did listen to one of them out of curiosity, and now it won't stop recommending the filth even though I've blocked 20 of the songs and said don't show me stuff like this.
