It's YouTube music, which is showing popular "podcasts" on its explore page. Must be just because it's popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.
Why is he wearing Templar tabard? The Templars were barely restrained religious fanatics that hoarded wealth and placed themselves above those around them…oh. So incel republicans?
Part of fascism is reducing everything to an aesthetic.
Make it all conformity and make it easy to exclude others.
Much like an armband. Maybe with your fascist logo on it.
your fascist logo
Excuse you?

Never thought I'd ever need to explain Nazi swastika armbands to someone....
they just thought the "you" was personal, but it is general
Yes.
Those are sharp words, mind where you point them.
Only if you're a Nazi.
Nah, after trump was elected, every now and then YouTube wanna sneak in some incel stuff.. It's fucked up, and I hate I have to still use youtube in some occasions.
Ah yes, the Charlie Kirk "we selectively found 10 dumb people to debate and then edited out any part where they come across okay" genre.
I can't prove it but I just know they are making money on insecurities of young men and radicalizing them in the process.
You can prove it. YouTube gives ad revenue to affiliate and partner creators. Manosphere content pushes the argument that "Life is hard for men"—verifying the feelings of stress and FOMO and resentment and inadequacy natural for all in this social sphere; blame that as being "because modern women...blahblah"—presenting a worldview that puts that responsibility on another group that isn't their audience; and then tears down some strawman of said "modern woman".
This content validates the painful feelings that toxic masculinity tells young men to suppress, without giving a tangible responsibility to the target audience. The narrative is simple: men need good women to be successful; and woke women are bad. This narrative also provides a justification for any feelings of inadequacy that again shifts the blame onto women. If a man needs a good woman to be good, and you aren't happy with your life, then that's not your fault—it's the fault of women!
The difficult aspect is that this content connects with real feelings that need to be validated; and many of them are based in reality. Like... HR is shredding your resumes, but that's still true if the rep/higher-up is a man. Work culture is toxic, but not because of feminism. You probably aren't doing as well as prior generations; but that's the economy and the underlying trauma of 21st century chaos. School did fuck you over, but not because it "emasculates boys". We can't just attack their manosphere beliefs; and labeling it as Misogyny or Violent just makes young men identify with those labels. We have to provide an alternate worldview.
Tom Cruise lampooned these people in the 90s, its not a new thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2y6zxvMtPE
Yet another reason I'm dropping streaming in favor of ripping CDs and listening to locally stored files, like it's 2009 again
Checkout Bandcamp for stuff you didn't buy but want to and SoulSeek if you are missing some backups.
Oh, 1,000%! I use the nicotine+ front end for soulseek on Linux, and it's wonderful
I had been using YouTube for “background noise” a lot — nothing political, just movie reviews and video essays about pop culture. In general, my YouTube diet is pretty non-toxic.
But I fell down a rabbit hole researching a band lately and have been obsessively listening to music for a couple of weeks. Mostly on my MP3 player to give my phone a break. And holy cow it feels nice not to be bombarded with curated Content all the time. I didnt even realize how consistently/constantly there was just STUFF on that, while not bad, wasn’t really contributing anything to my life.
for “background noise”
FWIW there are also radios, including public ones where content (without ads) is delivered via the Internet, usable via cvlc or mpv or even the browser (so nothing to install).
I am indeed aware of the existence of radios. I dislike radio because I prefer to have some level of control over what I’m listening to. Even with algorithmic slop I can skip tracks if I want.
You can switch stations.
It seems like I have offended you in some way, and let me assure you that I don’t know how, but I am also utterly incurious as to why.
Incel propaganda on an app developed by Alphabet? Surely the first time this has ever happened.
I know this is rich coming from someone who wears a surplus Czech army field jacket, but that guy comes across as an annoying dweeb with that shitty ass crusader larp getup that looks like it cost less than the Mont Python and the Holy Grail horse budget.
Is that the show where the guy invites on OF models, then insults and humiliates them? Where the models are only going on there because so many of his listeners then subscribe to their OF?
Yes.
The psychology of those incels would be fascinating to study
They enjoy insulting and humiliating these women for doing sex work, then they go ahead and pay for it
Granted that's been the history of sex work for thousands of years, this is just one of the most direct examples of it. Wonder if it boils down to them wanting to project their own shame and guilt on the women
There's music in your incel propaganda app
Get Tidal or Quobuz or Bandcamp
And now it's in my Lemmy. Don't propagate the brainless cunt and give them another platform, just downvote and ignore.
Youtube music got weird for me, about a week or two ago. I have it as part of my YT subscription, I barely use it. I opened it the other day and they recently started pushing this obviously AI generated like... porn music. I'm not sure how else to describe it.
Such gems like "I flashed me gash & got free bread"
Yes, I did listen to one of them out of curiosity, and now it won't stop recommending the filth even though I've blocked 20 of the songs and said don't show me stuff like this.
That sounds like something YouTube would promote
I started watching a lot of home-improvement type videos on YouTube, and suddenly since then all the ads now assume my dick is horribly bent and doesn’t work, and that I uncontrollably shit and piss myself.
It’s so pervasive I can’t even watch YouTube on my living room TV with my young kids around because I would have to explain way too much to them.
A few years back I dived in to men's mental health on youtube. My husband and I were in a rough patch and I just wanted to see some content created by men to maybe reach/understand him better.
the aglo went.. bananas. I couldnt believe how fast shit went to a scary and innapropriate place. Nothinh was helpful in tje end.
V surprised how cute those alledged 10 feminists are, i guess they want those clicks
Considering the templars pissed on the cross.. Lol
yeah, yt music sucks now. Honestly I should just switch back to having local media.
