I never sign in, I delete cookies everytime my browser quits, but Youtube keeps pushing right-wing, incel bullshit at me

I guess it shouldn’t bother me, after all I try my best to avoid watching anything on youtube that I didn’t go there to watch in the first place but nevertheless, it’s hard not to see the clickbaity thumbnails for suggested videos to the right of the one I’m watching, and also, when I’m researching something it’s...

Could it be that stuff is really popular in your location? The first time I tried Tik Tok it was nothing but batshit right-wing anti-woke content, and I’m pretty sure it’s based on my location.

Almost all accusations of antisemitism I’ve seen cited by the media amount to “Stop the genocide of Palestinians.”

I know there are some real examples and I’m very much against any form of bigotry, but come on…

I have a Jewish aunt, and she’s saying the same damn thing.

Is it common for the Independent to bait you with completely unrelated videos? What does a video with an unfunny moisturizer joke have to do with the article?

There’s zero journalistic integrity or cred. Everything is clickbait. Seems like the article is just as bad as the ad in question. All part of the same problem.

This is anecdotal, but this problem is so evident if you interact with LGBTQ+ youth in any capacity. I used to mod a discord server with a lot of queer teens, and they’d vent in the chat, people would tell them to get help, and they’d be like, “Can’t.”

Then sometimes they’d message me out of desperation, and so I’d try to look up community resources for them, provide them with phone numbers and links, only for them to encounter further barriers, one of the big ones being lack of money, transportation, and parental support. Not to mention making sure the provider is an ally – lots of “Christian” providers out there who could do more harm than good.

Even as an adult with an income, it’s fucking hard to access mental healthcare, but it’s much, much worse for youth. The situation is dire, and I’d like to shake parents and guardians who don’t at a bare minimum support these kids and try to get them support and help them navigate the horrible system.

Yeah truth. Child abuse and neglect are perfectly legal and in some cases even sanctioned by the state, as long as it’s the “right” kind of abuse.

Single-family zoning is bad, but are you using it to deflect blame from landlords and politicians who are absolutely part of the problem? I find it incredibly sus to “well ackshually” this post.
