If you are getting suggested these things it's because people with similar viewing habits as you watched them. I get suggested riposte videos to such content without ever seeing the original "bad" video. I'm assuming this is based on my own habits on the site. I would prefer getting neither, but here we are.
To claim that blacklisting would be ineffective because there is always more trash is disingenuous. If everyone blocked (e.g.) PewDiePie, surely they would get less YouTube talking-head content.
It's like saying that we shouldn't/can't avoid candy because people are always making new candies.
- eropple 8y agoIt's well-documented at this point that YouTube's recommendation algorithms enjoy feeding fascist chuddery to people who like things like video games or history, yeah. But I didn't say you shouldn't do it. I do it, because one fewer garbage channel is one more chance for something less garbage. But it certainly seems like it's bailing against the tide.
