I want to train it to give me communist content, news, culture discussion from the leftist perspective, ect…basically this site. Never used it before so I’m asking before I do anything on it so I don’t mess it up with the initial searches or anything.

    Second the strategy to manually search up the types of videos you want the algorithm to recommend you and then like those videos and also watch them through the very end or at least longer than other types of videos you're not interested in

    Make sure to "not interest" every type of video you don't like as well

    Also be sure to check out the tags of videos you like or "not interest". If an Arab person makes a video about basketball but puts the hashtag #arab and you want to not interest because you don't like basketball, you'll also negatively train the algorithm on #arab. You can also like non-political videos if the user hashtags it with #communism because they're a communist

    Kind of annoying but that's just the result of people not using hashtags properly

      The hashtag information is useful. Somebody tagged a mercouris video with like 50 tags and now that you’ve pointed this out it explains a fair bit about what started popping up after.

      Thanks for the advice.
