Algorhithms that recommend content based on your activity really weird me out. I googled a crochet pattern one time, and for the next month every recommended video was about crochet. I wish we could opt out of recommended content.

Click the three vertical dots on the unwanted video and choose “Not interested”.

I click that on every video,to make sure the algorhithm has no idea what my interests are. I also google random things to throw it off. It amuses me, but also I like thinking they don’t know my true interests.

i dont know but it is extremely triggering for me.

I clicked on a youtube video about emotional abuse in children - and there after i was getting nonce videos from hunter groups filming them getting caught out. Seriously wtf?

You never want to watch those sort of videos - they will enrage the hell outta you.
