Yeah I've noticed that. Usually blacks eating things really loudly is a feature of my advertizing experience, accompanied by a chorus of snapping fingers as if trying to command me like a dog to buy some stupid/useless/irrelevant service or thing.

I don't watch ads for this reason, I also turn off their thumbnails.

my advertizing experience

Why would anyone go to Youtube without an adblocker?

Depends on what I'm using, without giving details of what I use - ads just seep through and it cannot be rooted. I only ever use this device when handy.

no-script; all ads are coming via ad-deliveries,and those come with ad-delivery-deliviries, google has its own too; by blocking every non-essential script from working you will never see another ad again (as positive effect, site having adloaders blocked lightens its memory usage by sizable amount); for youtube you only youtube.com script, may have google.com and gstatic if you use account too

Probably some manner of cross-examination through services of adjacent devices through bluetooth or shared wifi.

As far as google is concerned, I don't know what this straregy is. I've seen teams try to work on "deradicalizing" certain platforms with AI projects and their agorithm has been shown to have an agenda bias.

Perhaps it could be said that they are trying to broadly push a negative such that you either become complicit with what you see or you vacate the platform so that the various problematic contingents lose patronage and revenue in an invisible and subversive way.

I have no idea. I think it's exactly that sophisticated at putting things together, things that I liked 10 years ago show up sometimes.

So I just repeatedly google "nigger" among other epithets and controversial topics they don't like on the off chance that it triggers some employee or better the person who came up with the idea that I should align with their political interests. I rarely use their services, but go there exclusively to do exactly this.

Are you using devices hooked up to the same router, though?

Because even with different device IPs, you're still going through a device gateway. And like CletustheElitist pointed out, the AI really is as sophisticated as it sounds.

Google is incessantly updating/upgrading it, and there's a bit of a shared synergy between other Big Tech corps across various social media services.

So if you use Facebook on one device and click through a link that leads you to YouTube, the AI takes notice of that.

If you use Twitter and go to YouTube, the AI takes notice of that.

If you leave a comment on YouTube from one browser and then use incognito mode on another browser, it's still tracking your IP address and collecting data based on that; they build profiles and keep track of the profiles they build on you. Permanently.

One of the ways this is achieved is through an AI tool called SensorVault, and once it logs your location and has profile data from that location (e.g., YouTube account, Gmail account, Facebook account, Android phone, Twitter account, etc., etc., etc.,) it then builds on the data it collects and tracks you. It's how they can still recommend ads to you even when you're logged out of your YouTube account or using incognito mode on a completely different device.

You can read a little bit more about it here: https://www.sysjolt.com/2021/big-tech-collecting-all-your-data/

That is what they do. Using Google's tracking cookies for all your online activity. YouTube's algorithm only cares about engagement, and it's strategy is to assume that anything you love or hate will get clicks. It's also not that easy for semantic analysis (what words and phrases does he use) to be converted into sentiment analysis (does he love or hate this thing) so either way if you talk about it you'll probably see it.

It’s probably based on your interactions. I don’t get anything like that in my suggestions nor do I get things that would irritate me

If you have a browser that is like Chrome or FireFox (but ideally NOT Chrome & NOT FireFox) then the BlockTube extension is useful for blocking YouTube channels you dislike from appearing on your Front Page, your Recommendations & in your searches.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocktube/

My main use for it is blocking all the Corporate Marxist mainstream news media.
