Yeah. YouTube’s algorithm strongly pushes that you recently watched, along with a sprinkle of rage bait. If the dude is getting videos of people dancing, they watched videos of people dancing. For generally innocuous stuff, it tries to get you on binges.
It’s YouTube’s rage bait that is extremely annoying as even one video can take over your entire recommended.
I watched ONE single half of a video of that drunken reviewer who’s actually just a massive bigot and pushes a lot of misogyny in particular, and it took like 14 months of blocking and “do not recommend” for the rage bait to stop being the primary piece of recommended, though I still get the odd “here’s why women are trash and belong in the kitchen, not working” video.
- magicalhippo 3y agoAs a premiim subscriber, this is one of the main reasons I still use Private mode to watch YouTube videos I'm not sure of. Don't want it to pollute my history. As a result I mostly get recommended great stuff on when watching signed in.
- mcint 3y agoI think it still helps if you remove it from Watch History. And the "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" can help, if nothing else, to feel like you're doing something.
