we love a good alternate history hub video.
Although if that were my recommendations they would be let down because i turned them off. You can’t one up me, i am simply one step ahead of you.
I use NewPipe so there’s no recommendations there.
i run a jellyfin instance, so the only recommendations there are the ones that i make :)
Really open the eyes on the shot algo shoves into your face sometimes.
Fucking creeps.
My red flag would be telling her “fuck off creepy stranger”
I mean we all know about his super power

Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.
Most of my browser history, youtube and podcast recommendations etc. are benign.
My fear is when they ask the question “when does VR Porn become cheating?” Because I don’t think anyone can answer that one honestly and the way one would expect.
Like my brain would say “when you can smell it” but that leads down a lot of other questions that scare me.
“when does VR Porn become cheating?”
The same point anything else does. It’s when you’re getting involved with another person and your partner is not cool with that. If you’re just consuming media it’s not cheating.
IMO if you ever ask someone whether porn is cheating, you should probably be put into an asylum and studied, because i cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would give a shit, unless it’s a shared mutual agreement between two parties, in which case, you probably wouldn’t ask that question.
It’s almost as insane as asking whether or not touching your dick counts as masturbation or not.
A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.
Good point. I would have had to be there to see what the mood was like. She could have been funny as hell, and I’m just not picking it up from this tweet.
I did not get invited either.
Probably for the best.
It’s hard to convey tone with text.
The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.
Wait you also watch DBZ highlights and wonder what super Saiyan Piccolo would have looked like? 😍
No. So why do they keep coming up to me? Nothing against DBZ btw.
It’s giving you what your heart secretly wants and that’s useless DBZ facts. Accept our Lord and Savior Goku.
What is the reason for these two things to get grouped up and shoved down my feed? I’m a life long and very public activist for medical financial aid programs, public housing, secual wellness, free kindergarten, hot meals, direct aid, take back the night, ada accomodations, needle exchanges, loan forgiveness, and just about every humane cause I know of. My viewing history is about as antithetical to Tate’s small dick energy and the anime I watch is more likely to be weird surreal stuff like Tengoku Daimakyou than some 50th year of dragon Ball
How does my feed switch from normal shorts to the incel only feed?!
I wish I knew what I was doing because I very rarely get that stuff, unless I go to Shorts. Then that crap shows up in both the Shorts and my recommendations. After ignoring them for a couple days they go away and stay away as long as I also avoid Shorts… So maybe that’s the key?
Hey this person likes anime and political subjects. You know what audience also likes these things, and is most likely to watch/click ads? Manosphere, incel, alright, losers! Recommend some Andrew Tate and Lotus Eaters.
At best it’s because there’s just a shitload of other people that are into that stuff no matter what else they’re watching so everything ends up associated with it. At worst Youtube specifically funnels people to that kind of content.
Clustering algorithms plus a focus on keeping your attention (watch time), not on quality
Right wing propaganda receives heavy financial backing.
I’ve found that being really aggressive with my not interested/do not recommends keeps it down (but not absent). In my case I assume they pop up because I like watching history and gaming videos, even though I go out of my way to avoid anyone who’s dog whistle-y or chuddy.
The topic and creator based clustering of multiple interests will pollute that anyway, because they don’t care about precision and just care about keeping your attention
Why do so many people on Lemmy take things way too seriously
This is clearly meant to be a small tease for fun, and you’re telling them to fuck off lol
No context. What seems obvious to one person doesn’t come across that way to another. Plus, this is the internet. We see too many people who would do this seriously.
Er, this is mine.
I got a new Raycevick video and Engineering Explained video about F1. I am happy with this
I watched the sub one already, great recommendation to lose some minutes of time on
No financial stability based on the lego one. :D
If you are into the Lego video you may want to check out Brick Experiment Channel
That looks great thanks!
You pass the vibe check
I don’t watch YouTube on mobile, this app is an ancient Vanced version that doesn’t even work, and newpipe hasn’t worked for me recently either. If there is a YT vid I absolutely have to watch on mobile I rawdog it in Firefox with ubp
YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.
My home page looks the same either way, though.
Newpipe has hat two major fixes to account for yt changing the way it served videos. Wasn’t working for a few weeks for me either but since 1-2 weeks ago it’s reliably working again. So, maybe try and update to the newest version now to check if it works again if you are interested in using it.
my Revanced
On ReVanced,
That’s a pretty good video though.
Well I wasn’t planning on immediately letting you know I like retro electronics, but have at it
You’re correct. Judging people based on an algorithm your have no way of knowing is indeed a red flag ma’am.
I think if I was a woman and I saw that a potential mate’s recommended was full of *ndrew t*int videos or similar, I would take it exactly as that: a red flag. Not an immediate condemnation but a sign that something MIGHT be wrong. It could be that they’re watching the videos with a critical mindset, or the algorithm is just doing some wonky shit, but I would probe further just to make sure that they aren’t a raging misogynist
Yeah I’ll eat crow on that. Tate is in my thumbnails because I’m probably just a little too deep into politics. Maybe not a red flag as much as a bore flag.
Jokes on her I use PipePipe without signing in…I have no recommendations.
Green flag in my book
I actually have YouTube history turned off and rarely if ever watch something that I’m not subscribed to, namely, a maths nerd, two tech channels, some musical people and the guy who makes sausages.
Similar here. I don’t trust the algorithm and I’m not interested in outsourcing my attention and thinking to it.
I’m intrigued: who is the guy who makes sausages?
Probably this guy https://www.youtube.com/@OrdinarySausage
I will be disappointed if it’s not this guy
It is that guy
