    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
    They've full on said that they want to push content to bring people to "the center" (from the right is the quiet part).


    Nvm that their definition of "center" is about as good as @MelloDawg
    Its continuing today. Videos of black people pushing back on other blacks like Thomas Sowell. The videos have 200-500 views. They are promoting channels nobody is watching.

    June 20th, it's still happening. I'm being bombarded with videos promoting reparations and defeating colonialism

    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.

    I'm glad my account isn't getting these. But seriously, let them. This isn't like Steph Curry continuing to shoot, because he knows he's going to eventually heat up. The left and their media whores forcefully advertising woke media continuously is more like Russell Westbrook continuing to shoot threes. In this case, it's just buying them deeper and deeper in the shitter.

    Most of my suggestions are biographical references to Hitler.

    I have deleted probably 70-80 videos off my feed now, and almost all of them are 1-2 years old with 200 views. They're promoting channels nobody is watching

    Has it occurred to you you're actually a big fan of these but just haven't realized yet
    Derek is a closeted woke warrior apparently

    They must be able to tell that I'm an influencer on some level so they're trying to force these down my throat with the thought that they'll get disseminated.

    Or inseminated in Dazzler's case.
