       @whitequark @angelastella that hasn't been what the algorithm has presented me but I've never given it any signals that I am trans.  spooky honestly.

       @ariadne Cause that's the only content that isn't snippets from old TV shows, ads, or entirely AI generated, maybe?

       @ariadne @whitequark @angelastella probably placebo, but as of late when i do use youtube signed in, its gotten concerningly better at recommendations. ive done a solid job of separating my big interests and huge personal characteristics from any google account, or so i thought... apparently, maybe not :(

       @ariadne This is funny, because the YouTube recommendation algorithm seems to have decided several years ago that I'm trans. I am, as it happens, a cis guy.This has only done good things for my YouTube recommendations, so I'm not going to attempt to “fix” it. @whitequark @angelastella

       @whitequark @angelastella @krans I guess.  Personally as a trans person I am not interested in youtube trans content, but I guess it is helpful to some.

       @ariadne @whitequark Who knows what spurious correlations their predictor is tuning in on.
