I see nothing like that, and I tend to view 50+ a day. Just start hitting "Don't recommend" and you'll clear it right up. It throws things at you based on your viewing habits, after all.

It's the algorithm. Without doing manual work to choose what it shouldn't recommend, eventually you just get blasted with right-wing content.

I have never seen any anti-trans content on YT shorts. Whatever you're watching is causing that content to show up.

They're Red Pilled punching bags. When they came back @ Aba & Preach for covering them, they allowed Aba & Preach to override their integrity of how far they'll go in on someone unprovoked and opened up the floodgates to everyone jumping in on exposing how they weren't living anything they Preached. Aba & Preach ripped them apart with receipts and all they could do was come back at them with highschool insults. Even people in there own chat were saying that Aba & Preach were getting them.

Judge me for being so deep into Youtube drama. Im not changing anytime soon lol. This shit is amusing.

I had a Bill Burr clip show up in my regular feed just today. He must have done something to slide back into the algorithm

TC's reason is obvious but it's also true that YouTube is terrible about recommending hate filled videos to you. All the algorithm cares about is getting you to click on things and stay online more. When you're pissed off you do that more so YouTube loves to feed you videos that will trigger a strong negative reaction. I remember once when I hate watched a few Ben Shapiro videos and my YouTube feed was filled with that garbage for weeks. And even though I never click on them, I frequently get recommendations for videos complaining about how games/movies/etc. suck now because they have too many women/brown people/trans folk/whatever in them.

I could be wrong, but I think it's based off your history and cookies. Meaning, yours suggest the algorithm thinks you would like those shorts.

Mine shows only things I'm interested in.

For some reason at some point I started getting a lot of The Quartering recommended. I just click the Do Not Recommend.

I do look up a lot of political stuff on YouTube. I'm bound to get suggestions for Ben Shapiro and shit like that eventually. I just remove them from my recommendations.

I don't look up anything political on YT yet still get alt right stuff recommended.

YT really wants for people to engage in that stuff.
