Not sure about animal cruelty, but you click on one Tim Dillon comedy bit on YouTube and for some reason the feed just immediately devolves into an endless stream of conspiracy stuff. Clicking not interested does little to change it, and even watched videos keep showing up again and again.
- worrycue 3y agoWiping your Watch History should fix it. I always remove objectionable videos I accidentally watch from my Watch History to prevent the algorithm from using it as a basis for recommending me stuff.
- spondylosaurus 3y agoHearing stories about YouTube recommending conspiracy videos always fascinates me because my own recommendations rarely veer in that direction, if ever. But I keep to a pretty strict diet of gaming/speedrun videos and bass (guitar, not fish) content, so what I see on my homepage almost entirely adheres to that. But then I watch one innocuous video outside of my core interests—say, washing machine repair how-to, or a clip of an old sitcom, and then my feed gets infected with Jordan Peterson or other weird shit and I'm like ah, this is what everyone's talking about! And I have to go prune my watch history until they vanish. It's bizarre.

- deadbolt 3y agoI'm only somewhat familiar with Tim Dillon, and I agree with most of your statement, but why Austin, TX?
