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.
recently youtube shorts started recommending me “alpha male” andrew tate videos despite me constantly ticking the “don’t recommend this channel again” posts and i guess in response spotify is now recommending me Karl Marx audiobooks
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.

This is hilarious. I hope their code is literally something like
if (user.pref == hate("andrew tate") { user.is = "communist"; }I wouldn’t even be mad.
