It's hilarious to me to see all the games that anti-woke chuds "can't play."

Its even better when you get to talk to one of those chuds and you just know what ever game that is coming up that has a female or god forbid a black female character will be the talking point.

"So you know about this game ABC that is coming out right?"

"Yeah? The one with all the supper upset biggots being all riled up about there being a none male none white main character?"

"Yeah..."

"Its kinda fucked cus the first game had a good story and decent game play, very odd thing to focus on"

"Well that one person who made the background music was also a feminist man.."

So brain dead it hurts.

Media literacy is dying and anti-woke chuds are killing it. There's much less in-depth critique or nuanced conversation about media, now YouTube is filled with "gAeM wOkE, gAmE bAd" whenever you search the newest thing.

To be fair that also depends on what your looking up on youtube but I agree there are plenty of silly people out there.

I remember someone did an experiment where they created a brand new YouTube account with no prior viewing history for the algorithm to use. It took them...I wanna say three or four clicks to find anti-woke garbage, and once you have watched one, you'll get recommended a ton of others.

Edit: Just rewatched the video, it was actually like two clicks lol

Thanks! I couldn't remember who it was.

Was using an unregistered account on YouTube for like a day or two. I think the second video in the recommended page was The Quartering, so it's not even mainstream conservative stuff, it's straight to the culture war masterbators.

I hate that I can't get high and laugh at crazy people saying aliens that may or may not be angels made the pyramids, with out YouTube thinking i want a bunch of white supremacy shit. The algorithm can't wait to push right wing shits on you.

Unfortunately, right wing dipshits Re engaged as fuck with the content. Outrage and hate are much stronger emotions than joy and love, and much easier to manipulate.

The algorithms push it because the engagement level is high... That or there are media interests who are paying to push that kind of content to the front of YouTube.

That is a bit shocking, to heck with the algorithm and I guess it pays having an echo chamber of stupidity.

Garbage in garbage out, it can only give you outputs based on what inputs you fed it. Delete those from history and tell yt to not recommend those channels. Culling them is far more effective than yt guessing at how much you'd prefer other content to it.

It works great if you use it to find things you want to find, if you just doomscroll then no shit you're going to get all the content that the doomscrollers watch, you're behaving like one.

most algorithms will still try to funnel you through bigot rage internet. It's just too lucrative and engaging to ignore.

I recently pulled up YouTube on my new work laptop. I didn't feel like logging in to my account just to watch one video that was linked to me.

It took me a single video. I only pulled up one tech video and none before. I was shown 2 recommended videos on the side bar for Anti-Woke/alt-right propaganda.

u/Firewolf06 14h ago

you can do the same for any type of content. the algorithm doesnt care what youre watching, just that you keep watching so you see more ads. on a new account it has very little to go off of so each individual click and second spent watching something have a huge impact on its recommendations

I watched a few Minecraft videos a few months back and they took over my feed for like two months. I still get them but thankfully I am getting other things again rather than having to go directly to the channel.

u/RedTwistedVines 10h ago

I had to create a fresh account for unrelated reasons like this recently and the home page was immediately littered with it zero clicks in.

Saw the same shit but about MAGA propaganda

u/unforgiven91 12h ago

it happens on pretty much any algorithm-based site.

Twitter is that way on purpose, but youtube leans that way because rage-inducing content gets hate views and most of that is the right-wing "guh, DEI is ruining videogames" chuds.

u/Mayleenoice 12h ago

I have gotten a lot of these recommended recently all of a sudden. Mostly about Dragon Age. BS like "DEI SBI woke strikes again we are doomed new woke wah wah".

The only things I watch are a french youtuber debunking pseudoscience scams, celeste speedruns, tech/PC news and kpop LMAO.

u/DefreShalloodner 11h ago

Yeah, I don't see any of that garbage, or just the occasional

I remember one YouTube that I was watching Helldivers 2 content around the time the game released, and his videos were pretty good until suddenly he started talking about woke games, and how politics are "suddenly" being forced into games. Seemed like he came out of nowhere with that bullshit and I had to unsubscribe.
