In the past few days, it’s recommended:

  • Some guy saying vegan diets don’t work (news to me, considering I’ve been on one for years)
  • A different guy complaining about PETA’s new game
  • A woman saying women in modern games are too ugly
  • The same woman saying women don’t really want to be in charge of anything
  • Some bullshit from ShoeOnHead
  • Paul Joseph Watson

Not sure where this all came from. I’d actually enjoyed a very long, pleasant streak where it wasn’t recommending me any of this trash. Now they’re coming out of the woodwork. Every time I see one of these videos I click the “don’t recommend this” button, but there are always more.

    This is exactly how I got recommended my first alt-right pipeline video. At school we got a conference about trans people, so I looked it up on google and youtube.

    Then I found out that there were other genders and I was really happy because agender was what always how I felt about my gender

    Next video that is recommended to me is some asshole that kept repeating stuff like: “there is only 2 genders and you can’t change it cause that’s how it’s always been”.

    I still believed that one could change their gender, but I was really upset about being “lied to” about the other genders.

    Edit: I forgot to specify this was like 6 years ago, so youtube didn’t change at all from back then.
