I started paying for YT Premium a few years ago when there was an election on, and one of the absolute worst minor parties that's run by a billionaire just threw money at YouTube advertising.

I haven't looked back. I watch YT content on my ShieldTV poetry much exclusively, so adblock doesn't work anyway :/

[even bigger rock] "No, Youtube, I don't want to watch TF2 content. Stop recommending it to me"

It's like why even have an algorithm if it's just going to show you what it wants you to see rather than what you want to see.

Sometimes the algorithm can be dumb. Here's a tip:

Doesn't change anything I've literally NI'd every single post of that matter and THEY KEEP SHOWING UP. I'll even DRC to channels that post that content primarily and they'll start show up half a year later. I've had it up to here with youtube's fucking algorithm deciding what I want.

Check your watch history. Did anything TF2 related end up in there by mistake? In my experience, you can remove it and it'll help.

Nope it's an association link, i've been at war with that stupid game for well over two years now. I'll even block content shitting on it.

Do you pay for premium? From what I’ve seen the algorithm is much more hostile to people who don’t pay. I literally _never _ have these problems about YouTube recommending stuff I don’t care about.

Their algorithm is constantly trying to groom its viewers to the far right. They aren't getting a cent from me.

I read everyone bitching about the ads but I don't get them, and I have access to an awesome music streaming service too.. you know, cause I have premium..
