    strange, they have allowed it ont he channel for quite a while, alot of the videos were mostly directed at transpeople in the form of anti-woke videos. like that channel where it had 20 magats arguing vs 1 "liberal".

    right wing drives viewers to grifters, and those have ads which benefits youtube.

      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.

        no, when you obviously spouting misinformation its within peoples rights not to give you time of thier day. and thats why you would be banned in reddit surely as here eventually for the right reasons.

        Yeah. You want to misconstrue it as "misinformation" so that you're automatically correct with no discussion involved and you can censor anyone who disagrees with you.

        I'm going to ignore you now.

            Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

            "WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE????!!?"

            Like fuck off no I wouldn't. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

              I hated Google far before it was cool. I would feel vindicated if it weren't so damn overdue. They don't even contribute meaningfully to society. And I mean that about EVERYTHING

              Gmail is lame, their search engine sucks, chrome wastes resources, their ads platform ruined the internet, Golang fundamentally sucks, the emulation layer of android is so fucking wasteful, Material Design ruined digital creativity, etc.

                The point is, is that it doesn't matter. Companies are not true allies, they just do whatever earn them the most money and PR

                If it means to become literal Nazis, then they become literal Nazis. And sell the supplies to the gas chambers

                For sure. It was more of a "yes, and" than disagreement. Profit is such a vile incentive, literally why we can't have nice things.

                  Even most people hosting at home, which is already an incredibly small bubble, have only the default upload of something like 40Mbit which is more than plenty for internet usage and thus the only thing most providers supply, since people favour download speeds.
                  You usually have to specifically order increased uploads speed, which not enough people do to build something that could serve as an alternative to youtube

                  Idk what to tell you man, I was just saying it would be cool if more people made a personal Peertube. Didn't say everyone and their mother needed to make one, just that it would be nice if as many people as possible could make one. Again, I get that it can be hard, or not possible for most people, but if more people could make one, and made one, that would be cool.

                      While I hate Google, this seems like one of those much ados over nothing. They specifically mention 'sex, gender, or sexual orientation', which to most reasonable people would cover gender identity.

                        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.

                        You're correct but the "He has a plan" one is from Money & Macro, a leftist (Marxist-friendly) economics channel. He's trying to explain the broader strategy behind the tariffs, which (from skimming the video) seems similar to a theory Yanis Varoufakis had as well. I think it's much simpler than that though... I think they're just a sloppy way to appear tough on the world stage while crashing the economy so the ultrarich can pick up the pieces, but that's just me.

                        Anyway you're correct about the rest I think.

                              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.

                                  No, but I think most of the people on Lemmy should know better than that.

                                  Looks at Hexbear, .ml, and to some extent Blahaj

                                    Everyone should check out PeerTube sometime, the UX has improved a lot and there's a decent amount of content too. I recommend installing the PeerTube Companion app. It shows a popup on YouTube if you've clicked on a video that is also available on PeerTube.

                                      What do you think keeps something deep being in the form of audio? I get that videos aren't great for research but audio can just be written word spoken so that people that can't read or don't enjoy reading can experience it. I read more than pretty much anyone that I know in my age range and I don't see myself as superior because of it and doing some comes across as frankly pomous and self important.

                                        dumpstering Tesla and calling it a worthless stock.

                                        Oh, so it's just wall street dick sucking and pretending the whole "market" isn't just a rigged game? Counts as right-wing slop to me.

                                        Is that the platforms fault?

                                        Considering we have a fuck-ton of evidence from research that it isn't just what other people watch that determines it: Yes, it is actually. Sorry these aren't fucking videos so that you'll actually pay attention to them.

                                          Haha, so many butthurt self-righteous people in this thread.

                                          Why are you so toxic? I thought Lemmy was supposed to foster better discussions than Reddit but here you are name-calling and talking down to people.

                                          Please consider treating people better in the future
