JonasYouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy
Snot FlickermanStop using youtube.
EDIT: A lot of people real fuckin triggered by this and looking for any excuse to keep using. Fucking addicts.
warmWhat else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.
Lots of popular Youtubers are already there, and they strip the sponsor segments out of their content too.
The popular YouTubers are trash tho
Most of them are literally Nazis. Anytime I go to youtube and finish a video all the suggested videos to watch after are obscene “anti-woke” trash.
The youtube to right-wing pipeline is real.
EDIT:
Here’s after me watching an old Lightning Bolt music video. Six videos are related to Lightning Bolt, being live videos or music videos, but a solid four videos are all weird right-wing Nazi pipeline shit. One defending Trump and saying he has a plan, one lamenting the pushback against Tesla, one shitting on the new Snow White for being “woke,” and one literally with the giant title “fuck your pronouns.” Plus one old cartoon and an episode of Surrounded with one doctor vs. twenty anti-vax (I am not convinced this Surrounded show actually does anything helpful for any discourse.) I have watch history disabled so none of this comes from my watch history, this is the default that youtube gives to people.
SorteKaninWow your YouTube recommendations are very different from mine.
I have watch history disabled
Well, that might be the cause. Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.
Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.
Agreed.
I have it disabled too and most of my recommendations are the same. I have seen those same exact videos recommended and you can’t block them on the YouTube app. Default YouTube for anyone without defined history is constantly pushing these videos.
It depends on area and trackers. They have a bias but you are also a valid target
I also don’t use any other Google services or products and DNS block trackers. And ip hidden too. I have never once watched any of those anti woke videos.
A good portion of the country is batshit insane, I’d be more surprised if I didn’t see that represented in the recs
