I just logged onto my YouTube page. It is literally plastered with pro-Black Lives Matter suggestions and videos about racist Republicans. Then I hear that the Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate just got arrested. That's one way to not lose elections -- just arrest your opponents! The far left is not just doubling down, they're now tripling down, heading toward November.

    Just know you are racist for wanting voter ID laws.

    Hope this helps

    It's still occurring. I go into YouTube and instead of the things it knows I'm interested in, I'm getting pro-BLM, equity training videos, etc.

    It knows what you're interested in, but giving you what you need. Racist.

    When Hulu starts telling me that Logo is part of my viewing profile, I’m out.

    This morning there are all these obscure leftist channels on my page about black people are being denied housing because of whites and black voter supression. And I keep clicking "Not Interested in Channel", like I'm pulling weeds out of a garden. This kind of thing is only going to get worse between now and November. All they have is "Democrats good, Republicans/Libertarians racist"

    Subscribe to more channels that you prefer. I sub to a shit-ton of different channels and I don't get any of what you are getting.

    The only thing the algo does that I find annoying is after I've watched some sort of independent media is it auto-plays faux news next. No thank you, I've had enough Hannity. From Russel Brand to Hannity, like huh?

    I'm subscribed to about 100 channels. What I'm getting is a brand-new phenomena. They are obviously targeting people who watch tons of conservative or libertarian stuff on there... or who have made conservative comments... or something
