    I have noticed that YouTube by default pushes a lot of right wing-esque stuff. My YouTube recommendations are fucked when I am not logged in, so much misinformation and clickbait all over the place. So I can see why it’s easy to fall for misinformation.

      Youtube’s recommendation algo is insane.

      I get 2nd amendment nutcases telling me the dems are gonna steal my guns and trans women are gonna rape all my family in public toilets.

      I’m British, living in Britain, but I sometimes looking up what the best gun attachments are on call of duty…

        Turn off having it track your browsing history, and subscribe and search to/for stuff you like.

      They’ve also started using a lot of channel names which are totally unrelated to politics. No huge surprise of course that it’s the right wing doing stuff like this…

      I do not have that experience at all. Mine is all video games and science. Its based on what you interact with, even if its negative. Engagement is engagement. Even just hovering over a video can result in it being recommended again.

        They literally said it pushes those things when not logged in. So when YouTube doesn’t know your tastes it pushes things like that.

          yeah, no.

          thing is: YT/google/the data kraken knows you regardless of wether or not you’re logged in.

          they track everything from IP, to location (even just approximate based on IP), screen size, browser, OS, and sooo much more.

          being logged in makes it easier to track you within a site, but you get tracked regardless.
