Not like that, but either YouTube leans way conservative or ……. Perhaps it’s purely demographics. As a middle aged white male, of course I must be conservative, love stories of revenge against feminist/hoa/boss, and i really want to be advertised scams like ivermectin and viagra substitutes.
I figure they must have at least figured out my demographics and making assumptions about that is more important than looking at who I follow and offering similar
Yeah I’m betting they have a demographic profile for you and that’s a lot of it. It would explain why I get astrology b.s. it’s pushed on women a lot.
One thing I always liked about reddit compared to other social media was I felt like I had more control over the content I saw.
Same for Lemmy.
I really dont like being fed slop that an algorithm decided I should want based on my age/gender/ethnicity/sexual orientation, and any number of other identifying information.
I’m also someone who likes new things. New creators, new topics. And social media traps you in bubbles.
It’s became so hard to find smaller channels on YouTube.
Have you heard of the dead internet theory ?
It really seems inevitable sometimes.
It’s also possible my pitiful attempt at poisoning the data backfired on me. When they force me to enter my birthday I select the oldest allowed date, so maybe they think I’m like 120
