Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@Typo-MAGAshiv her cunty, paint peeling, fruit spoiling voice paints a pretty vivid image on its own.
@MentORPHEUS But you have to sit back and look at the bigger picture. The Langoliers had a real and necessary purpose.
Having a diverse feed and being conscious with what you are consuming is definetly a great step towards the right direction and much better than what most normies are doing. Nonetheless, always keep your guard up because at the end of the day that only proves the system has decided you like variety. Even if you turn off autoplay and manually click videos the system still decides on what to show you and what not based on what it thinks will keep you engaged.
So yee, users have some control, but the idea that the algorithm isn’t slowly manipulating people’s worldview because “you can just click things manually” is way too optimistic about how influence and recommendation systems actually work. These systems also make use of your current emotional state based on your input. In moments of weakness, when you are feeling a little too relaxed they will show you things you might not usually agree with in order to manipulate your opinion.
Or are you using specific browser extensions to really block the recommendations and only focus on your subs? I'm wondering if that might help towards a better feed.

It's not illegal to shut someone out of your home if you don't want them in there. If her name isn't on the lease, she likely has no other recourse.
Did you hear the parts where various people said things about getting her back inside? They were probably checking to see if she was on the lease. She just fucked it up before they finished.
@Deepthroat that convoluted meme is partly right, partly wrong
If you just passively allow YouTube to decide what you watch, then sure.
But you as a user have a lot more control over what you watch or listen to than with regular TV. You can turn the autoplay feature off, and manually select what to watch next, whether it's suggested based on being related to previously viewed content or something completely different you search up in the moment.
My main YouTube account suggests a wide variety of content, because I seek out a wide variety. Manosphere stuff, political stuff, stuff about navigating the VA, ASMR, comedy, music (real and AI and parody), commentary on pop culture such as Critical Drinker and ItsAGundam, and various other shit.
Additionally, for all that YouTube does censor and shadowban things it doesn't like, it's still nowhere near as bad as regular TV.
I still plan to switch to rumble at some point because of how bad it has gotten, but it's still a damn sight better than regular TV.

they started showing up when I opened youtube
If you watch his links in a browser or a YouTube app in which you normally use YouTube, that's to be expected (especially if you're signed in to a YouTube account).
Its algorithm will push more of what you watch and content related to it, especially if you finish entire videos and give them the thumbs up.
@MentORPHEUS finally gave this a listen yesterday while driving. I think I missed out on some of what happened by not being able to watch the screen.
