it was probably because I clicked on a video of someone restoring a Rolex pocket watch, which means I value status (I don't, I just enjoy restoration videos done by professionals at a technical level), which means I value hierarchy, which means I'm Conservative, which means I hate vaccines.
yay.
@johnkapri @AmyZenunim okay so maybe they changed or broke something. Since I started watching more YouTube a couple of months ago I got pretty awesome recommendations, encouraging me to keep watching.
Since a week or two, most of what I see is total crap. I was thinking that I must have clicked/watched some horrible stuff and messed something up...but maybe not?
@AmyZenunim this is why I'm incredibly careful about watching people I haven't watched before and I hate it
it's a depressingly short hop from "tech youtube" to "scambaiting youtube" to "skeptic youtube" and once you hit that third one you're gonna get recommended people I would like not to name but really hate that I was getting recommended once
