    [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.

        I would get that but valve isn’t paying them to push that shit, they’re doing it out of their own volition.

        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.

      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.

          Like I said, none of that happens to me and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006. It really does seem like a difference between paid and unpaid amounts.
