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.

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

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, sexual 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 as I can imagine 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?!

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

Clustering algorithms plus a focus on keeping your attention (watch time), not on quality

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, altright, losers! Recommend some Andrew Tate and Lotus Eaters.

[-] fadedmaster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

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?

Right wing propaganda receives heavy financial backing.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

Wait you also watch DBZ highlights and wonder what super Saiyan Piccolo would have looked like? 😍

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

No. So why do they keep coming up to me? Nothing against DBZ btw.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's giving you what your heart secretly wants and that's useless DBZ facts. Accept our Lord and Savior Goku.

[-] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The last time I saw a DBZ episode there was only one set of dragon balls and the animation was 8-12 frames a second. Now it seems like everyone is immortal, there is a multiverse, and Goku can clown on actual gods for the lols.
