      I fucking love this button. Every now and then YouTube spams me stupid channels and this gets rid of them.

      Until you know.YouTube decides to recommend another stupid channel.

      Thank you Google.

      Im just kinda confused. The last overtly religious video I watched was when I was having an existential crisis 7 years ago, why on earth does yt see me watching a video about the history of waffles and think: “you know what this guy wants to see? Someone going on about how our Lord and saviour Elon musk is going to bring about the rapture.”

          Every time I visit my parents I go through their YouTube now and unsub from all the weird shit. I always get the same response from them “idk I didn’t sub to that” children man, they come in all ages. I ask her “then why do you randomly drop dog whistles that line up with what’s being currently spouted by the right?” 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

        All it takes is one random click on some vague “theory channel”, or the the same subject like in this case “musk”

          My Google news feed has apparently decided I want to know more about that absolute fucking ghoul from Blackrock that has declared we’re not sacrificing enough of finite time on Eath to capitalism because I read one article about him and choked down the reflexive vomit, and has been giving me more and more articles about him all day.

          This is how bubbles are created, I’m sure.

          Not even that - if you don’t have thumbnail previewing disabled, I’m sure that anything you hover over, intentionally or unintentionally, or even just bump the mouse onto while getting up, will probably affect your recommendations.

          Also, they may be trying to work ML shit into it and are just fucking it up in a subtly spectacular fashion.

        Hmmm you sure you’re not watching other techbro stuff? Religion isn’t the only factor in play with Elon Musk the Saviour. That said, have a satanic algorithm cleanser here and a magical one here, pushing you towards “atheist mystic scholar” which is pretty much the diametrical opposite of TV evangelist fare. If you want hardcore scholar stuff within an Abrahamic context that also exists. With that under your belt and seen the algorithm should realise that rapture heroin will have no effect on you, presumably it’s pushing it because it gets a lot of engagement when it leads people down that path.

        The best antidote to techbro stuff should be things like tesla takedowns as well as actual science journalism.

          Not if you watch one videogame related thing then all you recommendations become about how the woke mob is ruining society with pronouns.

          I forgot to mention you need to make the main page redirect to your subscribed page
