I've carefully curated things to where my feed is actually pretty good and I've had little to no problems with it. Then out of nowhere I'm getting all these transphobic recommendations, especially detransitioner content. It was a wild departure from the usual and way beyond the amount of topic specific recs that I'll get if I look up something specific. It was really gross and I was already having a dysphoria day. Fuck YouTube.
Yeah that's the thing, because I'm at work I'm not logged in so I can't block/hit 'Not interested' on channels and videos. If I clear history and see the default page YouTube shows, it's absolutely galling, like, I didn't realise how glooped in some of my 'friends' were until they started referencing shit I'd seen pushed to the front page that day/day before.
Oh, I guess piped and invidious wouldn't help much in this case. Scary circumstances...
