Hi lemmy,

youtube served me this survey today (english translation): "Which of the following issues have you encountered on the YouTube homepage today?

*The page is confusing
*I want to remove a video, but I don’t know how to do it
*I couldn’t find a particular livestream
*The “Do not recommend videos from this channel” menu option does not work
*Other problem
*None of them / not sure"

Which is funny, because I noticed when I blocked a “right wing propaganda” channel the other day in the YT shorts section it just skipped the video and played another one from the same channel.

Disclaimer: All anecdotal evidence, I can’t prove a thing, but even just the idea of me not being able to stop shitty recommendations pains me.

WTF Youtube. Stop that shit.

Edit: Minor Format tweak.

    So you’re more inclined to believe any online misinformation that happens to agree with your priors?

    I.e. the exact same problem you’re indirectly complaining about?
