    Twitter feels a hardcore far-right recommendation engine. YouTube thinks I’m OK, and want to watch Technology Connections (correct) and Colbert (correct).

      I get pushed right wing YT channels regularly. I have told YT not to recommend these specific channels repeatedly, yet I still get them. I will say most of what they recommend is, at least, is the ballpark of things I would be interested in, but it seems it goes out of its way to push right wing content on me regardless of what I specifically tell it to do.

        I get so many Bro Jorgan videos. I say block the channel, and they still crop up. How many shills does he have repackaging his shit?

          You know, it’s funny, I have NEVER been suggested Rogan. I have thought about this a few times before. With him being soooo big I am always kinda weirded out that I have never seen it in my suggestions.
