Again, another case of, I should pay attention to my own warnings about 2024. Something weird I've been noticing lately you can probably imagine how autistic my youtube feed looks in comparison to the average normie but perhaps it's due to me clicking around movie clips or something occasionally the stupid algorithm has decided that means I consent to having all of these normie channels shoved in my face.

Among the weird channels I've been recommended are these cringey recap channels which are the laziest content ever and literally just jump cut clips and a robot voice doing summaries of movie plots. It was getting spammed so bad at me that I ended up making liberal use of youtube extension to block the offending channels.

Now I'm even being recommended normie shit like commentary channels among other things and youtube WON'T FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE. I think this is classic youtube tinkering of the algorithm in order to try and shove mainstream channels in your face in an effort to 'de-radicalise' you except in typical incompetent programmer fashion it's recommending all the other crap along with it including television related stuff which I've gotten a bit of.

This is a bit like if I wanted to watch anime online and instead of recommending me anime to watch it just spams Breaking Bad and shitty cop shows in my face, all this is going to do is piss me off.
