It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.
And now it’s in my Lemmy. Don’t propagate the brainless cunt and give them another platform, just downvote and ignore.
This is mildly infuriating, it’s meant to show things people find offensive or objectionable. If you don’t want to see offensive or objectionable shit block the sub. There’s no way to remove this section on my explore tab, or even down vote or say I don’t want to see episodes like this.
Does press and holding the image not work? You should be able to select “not interested” from there. At least I can with YTM.
No, that works on stuff recommended on my home, but for this, the popular episodes section on the explore tab, there’s no option.

Found your issue.
Ah damn, sorry.
YouTube algorithm tries really hard to make me far right every few months. It suddenly starts recommending me fox news and “progressives destroyed in a debate” type shit videos. Usually lasts about a day.
I bet somebody is paying for that shit to pop into your feed.
lots of the religious right think that if you just see it, you’re going to agree and like, you know, become one of them. Which is funny because I find those kinds of content repulsive.
(Clint’s Reptiles, though? oh yeah. dude’s a legend.)
That slop doesn’t work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.
I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.
Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.
Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.
The religious zealots would HATE Clint, because he has out his rational mind and scientific literature explanation of the universe before what the Bible says
I mean, I wasn’t trying to suggest they don’t.
Just that his YT channel is alway good for a timeline cleanse.
Sad thing is it works on a lot of naive young people.
But this is because of the naivety and lack of critical thinking skills. Not because they are young.
Rather, because public education has been gutted to prevent kids from being taught such skills.
And even more egregiously, taught to be incurious. To not ask questions. To obey.
This is not just because of public education gutting. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, even in places with the highest ranked public schools on earth.
the simple truth is bombarding someone with a certain way of seeing the world makes them more likely to see the world that way. It’s propaganda, plain and simple.
i just refresh the page, and keep clicking on videos in my niche to get rid of it. im never logged in though, youtube is liking trying to capture some people that are browsing, and hook them in. people that are logged in have thier feeds curated to them that can ignore right wing videos.
it’s just rage bait. I guess nazis get “woke” videos, or whatever they consider the other side. goog only cares about money. If they would want to convert you they would show only a bit more conservative each time and slowly get to the far side. Showing the total opposite hardly convinces anyone, basically the viewer would have to accept that all their previous believes were false, it rarely happens.
I feel like the middle-aged guy that I am, because it keeps suggesting lawncare, forging (“can I melt and cast himilayan salt rocks?” He did, it was fantastic), silly engineering (“I’m going to see if I can 3d print a rifle that will make a nerf dart break the speed of sound…”), dnd (I don’t even play dnd, and i still enjoy the videos), and Jon Stewart. And… a weird mix of civil rights people showing bad behavior of police, and police supporter showing bad behavior of people (honestly both are entertaining, because police are awful and so are people).
But it doesn’t even try for that right-wing bullshit.
Same. Tons of baldness medication ads and retro gaming suggestions, no right wing bullshit. FWIW I’ve been using like/subscribe and “show less of this” to get good recommendations. I don’t even get disturbing police videos, but I only watch those here.
Mine does the same with the left and feminism. Which is fine. The only time it’s gotten sketchy is after my deep dive into the manosphere and their birth rate decline stuff.
Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.
No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”
Or
“Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”
And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.
Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.
Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.
Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.
But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.
I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.
How capitalism claims to work: provide consumer with what they want
How capitalism actually works: provide consumer with what I want
It does provide the consumer what they want. It’s just that YouTube is in the business of selling ads, and their consumers are the ad companies, not the viewers.
Chivalry will not die while I draw breath.
Is Andrew Wilson that smarmy “you lick snizz” guy? The one who thinks he’s a more clever version of Trey Parker but he’s really just a shitty little weasel baby version of Steve Bannon?
“The algorithm” pushes outrage content because it’s so radioactive that it even gets you to post it here. It’s just that potent.
It gets engagement from all sides. Advertisers dream come true.

Chad templar vs augmented bossoms
wow that thumbnail is disgusting. 10 fucking hours of this garbage!? and this is “popular” content… which supposedly means people actually watch this.
Quick callout to all the people who nodded along to stuff like this for the last 3 years; then whine about marginalized folks being “so political” about ongoing genocides. </3
10 hours of that is fucking nuts. Also claiming that as dating advice is fucking hilarious.
Man who hates a group of people vs group of people.
We should skip to the final evolution of this show where its Man who hates a group of people vs that group of people but all of them have guns.
Are they still editing out any part where the hater loses?
Or man vs car!
Man vs reeducation camp guards
Why is he wearing Templar tabard? The Templars were barely restrained religious fanatics that hoarded wealth and placed themselves above those around them…oh. So incel republicans?
Part of fascism is reducing everything to an aesthetic.
Make it all conformity and make it easy to exclude others.
Much like an armband. Maybe with your fascist logo on it.
your fascist logo
Excuse you?

Never thought I’d ever need to explain Nazi swastika armbands to someone…
they just thought the “you” was personal, but it is general
Yes.
Those are sharp words, mind where you point them.
Just pirate your music. It’s more ethical than giving money to Google or Spotify. If you want to support some musicians, buying a single piece of merch probably makes them more money than a lifetime of listening to them on a streaming service.
Money isnt that relevant directly, streaming is good for optics, you get a lot of streams you are more likely to get live shows and have your music pushed out to others that will go there? It’s good for discoverability and credibility.
Nah, after trump was elected, every now and then YouTube wanna sneak in some incel stuff… It’s fucked up, and I hate I have to still use youtube in some occasions.
YouTube music is the worst.
I entered “antifa playlist” into the search bar and got multiple ai generated full on nazi songs in my recommended.
I can’t prove it but I just know they are making money on insecurities of young men and radicalizing them in the process.
