      YouTube is weird. I’m watching solarpunk videos and it recommends me Jordan Peterson. Or I watch Joscha Bach and it floods me with AI-doomerism.

      Youtube wizard: It’s shorts. Youtube counts all views in shorts as being full watches even if you dislike and click off instantly. One nazi short and your entire feed will be fucked until the view drops off the algorithm. Here’s what you do: Go to your watch history and delete the basically all your short views. Instant algorithm back-to-normal.
