Youtube has become almost unusable. recommendations are so bad. Because I'm politically independent I've been put into some kind of right-wing recommendation track... Now I'm getting recommended ignorant pwnd the lib shorts. I've pressed not interested and don't recommend this channel but it does nothing. I really hate the endless short videos of youtube, instagram, and tiktok. I have no tiktok but they've essentially recreated the same crap on youtube. The experience of YouTube has been pretty much completely ruined for me. The content of videos seems to have gone way down too. I think this may have coincided with the change in monetization strategy. Seems like the quality of recommendations has gone WAYYY down since then.

It's not just you, I'm left of Democrat and end up getting Jordan Peterson recommended to me. Especially on shorts. My guess is the algorithm thinks I like "politics" and suggests whatever "political" content it can find. Besides this, I too have found the content quality declining. The best content now comes from channels/creators I followed years ago, while most new stuff that's being recommended is of the reaction to reaction to reaction variety.
