You will never see a more disgusting place than YouTube. An algorithm that pushes the most disgusting content like gore and trauma and the comment section of even the most benign video will have some chud shitting on feminists or whatever with a million updoots. Absolute shithole of a content farm website.

[Sexism] I was just watching a wholesome video of a rooster protecting the flock from a hawk, and the highest comment was like "Hurr duurrr I bet this triggers feminists seeing hens run in fear while the rooster takes charge."

Bruh, no, what is triggering is how illiterate misogynists are about the animal world. Imagine choosing hens as your proof that women are weak. Hens, the gender of chickens that also attack predators regularly. Hens, the gender of chickens that are where scientists came up with the term 'Alpha'. Hens, the gender of chickens that can literally change their gender.

link because I'm not a lib, this person deserves bullying tbh but I doubt it's worth wasting time on

And then, to top it all off, in the recommendeds was a thumbnail of a real picture of a squirrel gored up after being shot with a pellet gun, with the title "Watch this before YouTube deletes it" smuglord

So yeah, youtube is fucked up trash.

I have never seen any of the content you are talking about on YouTube. My "front page" is mostly movie essays, music production, some standup comedy, and tech reviews mainly from GamersNexus. I'll agree the comments can be ass sometimes but that's also dependent on the size of the channel and content of the video. Just out of curiosity do you have an account and subscribe to channels?

very often I'm searching for some random shit like woodworking tools or joints or whatever, and if I browse just a little bit further than the first 10-20 results, the algorithm starts showing me videos of acne removal with very graphic and gross thumbnails, it's fucking ridiculous

it happens more often if the topic I'm searching for is somewhat obscure, it's like youtube has run out of relevant results and now it's only trying to serve me "satisfying" dr. pimple popper videos

I still remember searching regular-ass Google for options for eczema remedies and getting a bunch of YouTube videos in the results that were basically dry scalp scraping ASMR. At least now I know I have a fetish porn career to fall back on if this whole IT thing doesn't work out kombucha-disgust

Both places have such reactionary cultures. It irritates me more to see Prager U ads on YouTube though. The new gambling ads on Reddit are giving them a run for their money.

Any ways to get better search results for YouTube searches these days? Or just group subscriptions?

I inexplicable get Sky "News" from br*tain on my feed and the only reason I keep it is because I'm morbidly fascinated by the extreme racist gammon energy radiating from every comment section.

Minor nitpick, I don't think Chickens have a concept of "gender".

As a waifu-pilled animecel, the only thing my algorithm gives me is vtuber clips and abridged anime parodies.

Life's good.

Youtube is 100x better than reddit for the simple fact that it's not solely inhabited by angloids (or even whites in general)

Redpill youtube is hell. Blackpill youtube has no analogies in mythology for the type of misery it is.

I think they're equally as awful, they have so much racism, it's actually astounding. Following that it's probably on par with Twitter now, then Instagram comment sections, then tiktok.

Counterpoint YouTube has boyboy and ididathing

I find that YouTube is a least gives you decent curation.

I have my stuff pretty well done and make sure to hit not interested on channels called "Billionaire One minute Mindset" and report it as hate speech.

Occasionally when one of the couple of reaction YouTuber I watch (Serfs, Kavernacles, and Bad Empanada, with Penguinz0 thrown in so I know what the normies are thinkings) gets caught by the culture war machine, I'll get shitty Daily Wire content recommended to me for a few days after.

Right now it always wants to make me watch H bomber Guys "Deus Ex is Fine" video.

To be honest, there are a number of channels I've been following for years, some for well over a decade that are just cute, wholesome places with nothing but good vibes.

Going to any of the recommended vids, trending, politicks, or drama channels, or really just random videos at all is just asking for mental death. The only good places are the curated communities.

Some of the worst comments I have seen are on Instagram. Not as right wing as YouTube comments (still very racist though) but lots of incredibly mean mean comments.
