CHINA MAD AS OLYMPIC BOYCOTTS BEGIN
Algorithm is so bad/weighted toward right wing trash.
I have a friend who is a garden variety lib, maybe slightly Bernie leaning? Consistently gets new age to fash pipeline YouTube ads. Supplements, ladies in "exotic" jewelry showing off high end jigsaw puzzles, concealable gun holsters, mindfulness shit.
YouTube is convinced that this dude is an esoteric fascist.
American YT ads must be just a lawless wasteland, over here they're mostly the same shit you'd see on TV.
Actually that doesn't help because as I understand, American TV ads are also a lawless wasteland
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the guys who make adblockers
American TV ads literally include advertisements for prescription drugs.
The worst ad I've seen on Finnish TV recently was some big budget one with Matt Damon telling you to invest in crypto while there were astronauts and explorers behind him implying buying monopoly money makes you a brave pioneer
Otherwise, the worst ads are the ones for quick loan services
It wasn't a Finnish one so its out there lurking in the wider world

:yes-honey-left:
idk how but my YT ads are wild. Poorly acted mobile game ads mixed with stuff marketed toward "manly men" and occasionally an ad for a channel preaching that the Bible was made up by the devil, but God is very much real and about to start judgement day so you need to Give Them Money Now by buying their merch to get into heaven.
my twitter ads are less wild, but for some reason the algo thinks I'm the kind of person who would be buying a fighter jet for the Canadian military or purchasing technology for more efficient but just as destructive oil and mineral extraction.
the fact that my targeted ads on nearly every platform are way off base and inaccurate as hell gives me a tiny bit of comfort

>They're trying to set a honey trap for me
They can't trap you with the honey when you don't eat the fried bananas :think-about-it:
White South African guy that went to China after apartheid ended because he hated equality and wanted to get special treatment. Now he's mad that China is cracking down on his bullshit and he's not getting special treatment there. So he left China in 2019 and talks shit about them all the time.
I'm sure the video "What China is Doing to Kill Us All" is going to be well presented and not at all deranged
Intelligence asset. Him and that laowhy86 guy have been popping up on my feed a whole lot lately. From what I've read, they're both guys who used to live in China, probably sexpats, who couldn't keep their grifts in China going. So now suddenly it's all about the emerging gommunism threat. laowhy86 was mentioned as a target of China's "authoritarianism" in an article by Paul fucking Wolfowitz
probably sexpats
As a white guy who lived in Hong Kong for a time, they're not all sexpats! Some of the white guys there just have really messed up, racist views of Asian women and want to find a wife/gf there.
fr though, the expat scene in China (at least in HK) is really weird and messed up, I stayed tf away from them as much as possible.
idk I wasn't there for that long, and I just made friends with locals. At the very least, if you're a white guy the sexpats and chauvinists will absolutely reveal themselves to you real quick, they won't hide it.
In terms of women expats... there were so few of them, I can't recall actually running into one.
Youtube: I heard you like videos about China, why don't you watch some of these :sus:
It's more like "I heard you like videos, why don't you watch some of these" considering I haven't really watched anything China-related on this account
This is basically the reason why I use ingonito mode for youtube links unless I know exactly what the video is, that combined with enough use of the "Don't recommend this channel" feature that it could be added to the list of victims of communism.
I also keep clicking "Don't recommend this channel" on these things, not that it helps much since there's an endless supply of right-wing shit to shove in our collective faces
:yea: I've managed to tame it into something decent, but just one click into shit and it's ruined for weeks again.
Is he racist that said apartheid was good, or am I thinking of another vlogger
Plot twist: serpentza was actually about to get laid and started rambling about the CCP to this girl
I like that he gets a mesage from a girl and decides it must be a trap
The left can't hijack the algorithm because the platform itself biases towards the right. They passively protect fascist creators while actively suppressing lefty creators.
If you don't see this it's because you're not paying enough attention. Google always sides with the extreme right up to the point it hurts their image/sales.
Same thing they always do when the platform isn't going the direction they want it to be going: Screw over everyone with blanket changes.
just gotta use all the right wing buzzwords and say left wing shit just to fuck with the alg
I remember there was a story from a while back about China cracking down on skeevy sexpat types, and I hope that's still happening and this guy gets snatched up. And then tried and lawfully executed by the Chinese government.
I didn't pay TOO much attention, but does this guy live in China, or does he live in the US? If the latter, holy shit he needs to touch grass. That level of obsession doesn't seem healthy. China is A L L he posts about.
