I get what google does, but I find the trade-off the be really convenient.
A funny creepy story I have is that I used to use a specific video to go to sleep, and apparently yt’s algorithm got so good at figuring out my sleep schedule that it would start recommending me that video when I started getting ready for bed.
If youtube figures out that you’re a single male, nothing will stop then from throwing Andrew Tate and other right wing garbage in your feed. Literally as soon as I got into a relationship I immediately stopped getting them. Now I get weird relationship based stuff. But it was so bad, I blocking channels but new channels kept getting in there.
