Kermit or nothing
You know what… I do use a VPN and adblock/anti tracking stuff. I’d never thought of that being the reason. Which I guess just goes to show how it defaults to “let’s show this person tits and rage-bait, that’ll likely keep them clicking.”
That would also explain why YouTube, which I have a paid sub for, always seems to show me stuff I’m interested in. Hahaha
Then why isn’t it full of gardening and woodworking posts, cause that’s literally all I seek out.
I do not look at porn, nazi bullshit, or any of the other crap assorted sites try to force on me. The “algorithm” just sends you what it thinks you want to see, or what the programmer does want you to see. It’s isn’t some ambivalent god that just blesses you with what you’re already looking at.
Bsky user here - I just want Twitter without Nazi bullshit.
My kids use a plethora of short-form video apps, and they also read novels, in addition to hobbies like cooking, knitting, crocheting, mechanical work, etc.
Maybe it’s just your kids.

I’ve been here since they shut down third-party apps. It gets better each time they piss off more of the user base and ya’ll join the rest of us. Hahaha.
jimrob4@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.ml•YouTube now disallowing any gun related content on its platform.31·1 year agoAs noted in the link provided by Nougat, the title of this post is completely inaccurate. YouTube is banning instructional videos on how to make guns full auto, homemade silencers, ghost guns, etc, and links to websites where you can buy them or the parts to do it.
Once again, in the case of the linked video, this is just hyped-up nonsense by irresponsible gun owners.

At home, it’s either Safari on my Mac or TOR on my Linux box with a VPN.
