Hi lemmy,
youtube served me this survey today (english translation): "Which of the following issues have you encountered on the YouTube homepage today?
*The page is confusing
*I want to remove a video, but I don't know how to do it
*I couldn't find a particular livestream
*The "Do not recommend videos from this channel" menu option does not work
*Other problem
*None of them / not sure"
Which is funny, because I noticed when I blocked a "right wing propaganda" channel the other day in the YT shorts section it just skipped the video and played another one from the same channel.
Disclaimer: All anecdotal evidence, I can't prove a thing, but even just the idea of me not being able to stop shitty recommendations pains me.
WTF Youtube. Stop that shit.
Edit: Minor Format tweak.
Given how much YouTube tries to push right wing propaganda down everyone's feed, I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Why doesn't it put right wing propaganda on my feed? Am I somehow special?
So you're more inclined to believe any online misinformation that happens to agree with your priors?
I.e. the exact same problem you're indirectly complaining about?
I’ve never seen right wing anything in my home feed on YouTube. Not sure what you’re on about.
