China is not the enemy. That is illusory. China does not want your blood, The US does not want China's blood.
All China and the US want is to be better than the other. That makes them rivals. Very different from enemies. The irony is both rivals practically live in a symbiosis. We are rivals but survival for both China and the US involves mutual cooperation.
This is so odd to me because this isn't my experience with Youtube at all. I just opened the homepage and it's mostly content I subscribe to and music that I've listened to before (I use Youtube for listening to DJ sets/Live music a lot.) I scrolled for a while and didn't see any Mr. Beast videos recommended.
Maybe it's because I pay for Premium? I also don't use Youtube that much.
To clarify: I don't see anything from blocked channels, but there are a thousand clones of blocked channels and YouTube ignores my obvious signal that I don't want anything to do with them.
I block a Minecraft channel and YouTube shows me another and another and another.
I block a K-pop channel and YouTube shows me more and more K-Pop.
Yeah, my recommendations are only content I subscribe to and videos related to that.
The “related videos” sidebar next to the video doesn’t seem more willing to experiment with different content, but not so much my homepage recommendations unless I’m endless scrolling.
Vigilence. Don't show me this video. Tell me why? Don't like the video. Not interested. Also, subscribe and like videos you do enjoy, not only for the content, but the style of delivery. Takes roughly 2 months to start not being a cesspit.
Also: have an account, and remove garbage from your history if you watched it - and watch out, those auto playing shorts are going into your history. Hide the shelf, in app, or with uBlock origin.
- Click 'not interested' whenever you see such a suggestion.
- Never click the suggestion!
- Like and subscribe to content that you want to see instead.
I go out of my way to select the 3-dot menu and select not only "not interested", but then go to the second step of saying "because I don't like this content". It makes zero difference.
User is "not interested" in this Football video because he "doesn't like this content"? User did the same for 15 Football videos?
Perhaps user just has been exposed to enough Football videos yet.
not having a youtube account seems to help. i watch different types of videos in different firefox containers and my kids watch on a different laptop. they see mr beast all the time, but i never notice him showing up for me.
YT being useless as usual because you can only tell it you don't like a video only in specific sections, but still happily shows hidden channels elsewhere, like search, with no option to tweak it. And search is useless anyway, biased towards trending and just vaguely being related to your search keywords.
No matter what the paper says. Growing trees is good for the environment in large. It caputures some carbon and gives shade as a result you are required to run AC less and they can also become homes for birds and ants
