I got rid of YT and replaced it with PeerTube and Nebula. Am I a bit less entertained? Sure. Am I a lot less angry? Yup.
I’m also learning a lot more because I was forced to find new content and new creators which was actually really fun.
Why did YT make you angry? I haven’t experienced it yet. I block content I’m not interested in and it goes away.
How to fully block pro-right, minecraft and roblox content? It doesn't matter how many videos I mark as "not interested" or channels I block, there's always another one that YT shows on the sidebar of related videos
Tbh I have never seen Minecraft and Roblox content at all. I do occasionally see alt right content but I block it immediately and don’t see them again.
I’ll give you a different perspective, perhaps you keep getting those kind of videos because you share some of the same beliefs as them. So maybe yt/life is trying to get you to start questioning your beliefs and interests…
Haha, no. The more likely problem is that ptBR content is sorely lacking in things I find interesting, so the Algo defaults to recommending "the next most related". Retro gaming stuff? Look here, this other Brazilian creator is all about Roblox! Oh wait, Minecraft counts as retro! Watching news? Here's some TOTALLY UNBIASED AND POLITICALLY NEUTRAL ~~opinions~~ news!
