The algorithms are hot garbage. I don't know what I clicked or when but ive been getting increasingly videos for fake garbage crap too. Stuff about conspiracy theories and astrology and I don't get it.

I never watch any of that "it was aliens". And I'm vehemently against astrology b.s.

Since scrolling on my computer "counts" videos as watched that my cursor rolled over (per my watch history, I have confirmed this) I'm now stuck in a never ending feed of garbage.

These algorithms are the worst.

I'm also pretty sure they work by real world proximity to others.

I had been living in Chicago and took the L train a few times where it was pretty crowded. Get home and I'm finding alt right videos on my feed.

Right after getting home from the train.

Happened on two separate occasions.

Coincidence maybe. But thinking algorithm assumed me standing next to someone for 45 min means they are my friend and starts suggesting to me what they watch.

Have you noticed anything like that?

I could be wrong. Just seemed sus.
