(I get these videos on my recommended list sometimes that appear to be pro Nazi, but I don't know how their algorithm works tbh)

it may just be because I was watching videos about WWII but it's still a little odd

@calculsoberic so do I! I watch a video about how Nazis are bad, and then I get recommended a bunch about how they're good, actually

@calculsoberic their algorithm seems geared towards pushing extremely right wing nonsense. I looked up one single Tucker Carlson video and it's been pushing fox on me every since, multiple times a day. It rarely pushes stuff from the many other things I've looked up tho.

@emeliadobegay it could be someone who programs the recommendation algorithms is far-right, etc., but that's just a guess

@calculsoberic no. YouTube just wants you to watch YouTube all day, every day, and do nothing else.

@Lily_and_Frog that makes a whole lot more sense :flan_laugh: I think what it might be is that I somehow skewed the algorithm by looking up something tangentially related (like WWII), and then it started to go down a rabbithole

@calculsoberic@mstdn.social Sorry if you know, but have you tried:https://yewtu.be/feed/popularhttps://piped.adminforge.de/or others?Someone a while ago recommended one of them to dodge the ad / algo and I found them quite peaceful.Also ESSENTIAL when playing Hashtag Games.

@calculsoberic it's usually the way...It gets suggested from the tags, but also based on people with similar search and watch history as you. And this often is done from ppl not interested in Nazi crap getting it suggested to them and watching it out of morbid curiosity. And if they *comment* on it, even though it's to say how crap it was, the algorithm scream and chant "engagement!" in complete and utter joy...To hell the consequences (a small portion will end up radicalised)

@Lily_and_Frog this one https://youtu.be/lk7GyNhE2Aw not explicitly pro-Nazi, but the channel seems like a "Prussia pride" theme, which often goes hand in hand, if you know what I mean

@calculsoberic do I need to open it incognito and get my tablet exorcised after, or is just edgy?

@calculsoberic yeah, I get it.It's like with WW2... If one is interested in military history, strategy and armament, it's okay to look at how Germany did things... They were a very efficient military force after all... but there's a point in some where it goes from legitimate historical interest to full blown sympathy! Sometimes it's hard to know if this point was crossed...

@Lily_and_Frog For some people, probably. Definitely not for me. Had I been there, I would have been killed too.

@calculsoberic @emeliadobegay Or someone who games an amoral system which recommends whatever seems linked.Nazis do this kind of activism a lot.
