well, I'm not sure if it's something I did, but YouTube is in full "right wing pseudo-spirituality conspiracy theory pipeline" mode for me today.

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.

@AmyZenunim You know, I have been wondering why YouTube suddenly decided to shove a lot of US police footage into my feed. But the Rolex/watch theory makes sense!

@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?
