Legacy format. You should be able to fully block suggestions you’re not only not interested in but that make your stomach turn. We obviously have the tech to have more sophisticated suggestions now.

EXACTLY! It’s like they WANT me to associate one of if not THE best show on the platform with nausea and seething resentment!
If you love Gandhi, you’re gonna looove Hitler!!!
Ghandi loved Hitler, so how could his fans not?
On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

Aint it great when paying gets you a worse experience.

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.
From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
You may also like Bill Maher?
What a slap in the face. Maher and MAX can eat shit.
They rely on people getting up to take a shit after Last Week Tonight to juice those Bill Maher numbers
Does it autoplay or something?
You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.
In my experience, yes
To be fair I can see the leap. Bill Maher made HBO’s political arm for a long time…
Now he is just a tired old dip shit (instead of just a dip shit)
I’m confused. Is it Bill Maher or just the concept of “You may also like” in general that you take exception to?
It’s Bill Maher and them continuing to try to push his stupid show after hundreds of failed attempts.
I don’t really have anything against a “you may like” function that DOESN’T insist on the same bullshit recommendation for over a decade of me rejecting it…
don’t tell me what I might like, don’t tell me what kinda day to have!!!
I wouldn’t even credit them with that much thought. It’s far more likely that it’s simply “you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here’s another late night political “comedy” talk show.”
You are underestimating how these people operate and what agenda they are pushing here
You are underestimating how truly idiotic the corporate world actually is.
I don’t know bro… They are a lot of things bit calling them idiots is misguided since they are winning and we ate getting fucked.
Sure there is stupidity around but here I would posit somebody plugging bills show to juice his numbers if what OP said is true ie it’s always this clown and it’s not a rotation
Bill is classic regime whore for the owner class he the money and guilt
It’s an HBO political-comedy talk show. As far as I know, that’s a category of 2. It doesn’t take a conspiracy to see how one would be constantly in the suggestions of the other.
Is bill the only other practical option to shill here. I am not sure how their line looks but yeah if they got two horses then I see you point.
If it was all about agenda wouldn’t they just fire John Oliver?
Wrong agenda. It doesn’t matter who on the political divide is right or wrong, the agenda is the ad money and continued viewership.
That I agree with. I thought you were implying they wanted to push people towards a more right leaning show. I don’t think they care so long as you keep subscribing.
The rest of the recommendations are pretty solid, though. I almost said something like the Game of Thrones doesn’t fit. But right now, it really does.
Damn, you have a sharp eye.
It is the only other late-night political talk show they seem to have, to be fair.
How many other ones are there? Other than maybe daily show, which isn’t “late night.”
Like Amanpour & Company and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, though these admittedly do have a bit of difference. And The Daily Show is late-night.
it also features a white guy in a suit…
Reminds me of how when my kids finish watching a decent-quality kids show on Prime or YouTube, the algorithm will try to autoplay absolute pablum like Baby Shark, Cocomelon, or some other trash. It’s like it deliberately chooses the most basic mind-numbing schlock available.
pablum
schlock
Hey thanks, I learned 2 new words today :)
dude baby shark is a time.machine. With baby shark playing 1 year feels like 10. I have PTSD from it. Not even over reacting, If I hear baby shark I start screaning “turn it off!!! turn it off!!”
Baby Shark Do Do Do Doo Do Do Doo Doooo…
Reminds me of the time I finished watching a stick figure fight video as a kid, went to take a shower without realizing autoplay was a thing and came back to snow white hentai
The algorithms prioritize things that other users spend a lot of time watching, not relevant or healthy content. Just addictive slop. It’s such a major failing of our institutions that this practice hasn’t been regulated away.
Keep saying this, and no one has ever had a plausible answer: YouTube does not do that to me.
I watch lots of gun content, you would think I’d be overrun with right-wing horseshit, but that never happens. I get sane channels, apolitical, learning, legal and fun related stuff, like I like.
Here’s my front page this evening. All interesting except maybe some TV shows I’m not familiar with but have watched clips. Don’t think I’ve done much of anything to curate all that, just let YouTube decide.
The only time I remember the algorithm going nuts was after looking at survival gear and gas masks. LOL, quickly run down with crazier and edgier content. That could have been a rabbit hole, had to cut myself off before it got worse.
Maybe it has to do with my subscriptions?
One possible answer is that there is only one country on this planet that equates gun ownership with politics - from a global point of view it wouldn’t make sense to have an algorithm that connects fire arms to a particular political slant.
I saw a clip of this moron for the first time a week or two ago.
The entire segment was him saying that genocide against native peoples was justified because they too had violence present in their societies. Of course, the overwhelming majority of complex life on earth include violence in their behavior repetoire.
So per this dipshit, you’re morally justified in wiping out complex life.
This dude is the textbook definition of a reactionary centrist: so comfortable with his entrenched wealth that he’ll gladly sell out anyone who is getting stomped by the system that he benefits from.
Which is why I advocate eating the rich, we should have started decades ago
Bill Maher is the smug “liberal” elite that I think conservatives think all educated democrats are. He thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, has consistently bad takes and just generally sucks. He is all but the definition of smug. He thinks he’s George Carlin but is not
This.
I cannot tolerate him. It’s the conceited, condescending, arrogant attitude.
I loved when Bill Burr and Seth Green put him in his place.
People like Maher is why blue collar Americans hate liberals.
During my “libertarian” phase I was trying to get into him. I figured out pretty quickly that he isn’t well researched and his only response to anything he disagreed with is condescension and pessimistic sarcasm.
Exactly. He’s stoned off the scent of his own flatulence
Americans have guns so Im allowed to shoot them all, right?
Yes.
Me first, please
Only if they’re brown enough. That’s the real unsaid part here.

Turns on VPN for Brazil. yt-dlp the weekly episode. Place on Jellyfin media server. Rejoice.
Where is yt-dlp finding full episodes?
They post them to you tube after they air but they are region locked. Just find a vpn in South America and you can watch it (or download it)
It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.
Nice try, Bill Maher
Might I interest you in a podcast?
You may 😁
I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo
delete your opinion loser /s
I think I fall in the same camp of agreeing with a good chunk of his points while disagreeing with others and I even have laughed at many of his jokes. And I’m totally fine with that for people I enjoy watching. However, what turned me off of Bill Maher a decade ago was his overall manner and attitude. He just started coming across as arrogant, obnoxious, smarmy, and untimately unkind, even when I agreed with him, which I did not enjoy. It was much in contrast to other satirists who may have mocked people, never felt like they were out to denigrate. Maybe his content has changed, but I haven’t noticed.
I haven’t paid him much attention the last few years but that’s always been how I’ve felt about him.
Even if he’s wrong half the time, at least he thinks for himself. That’s a quality I respect in people, which is sadly lacking these days. People are right about his arrogant attitude though. Probably why I stopped paying attention to him.
Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate
What?
It’s recommending Bill Maher because they watched Last Week Tonight.
Bill Maher sucks. Last Week Tonight fucks.
Most people watching Last Week Tonight are not going to also be Bill Maher fans.
Would prefer to never have to see his eminently punchable face again, but truth’s a good start I guess 🤷
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
I’m more surprised it doesn’t fail to load. Fuck Hulu and their shitty player.
