You guys watch more than the occasional video in an article or so?
I don’t watch TV, YouTube or alternatives filling that gap in for me (so in short, yes, a lot more)
I use it mostly for background noise and the occasional video of interest.
Good thing I already got my girl.
Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.
perhaps it would serve humanity greatly if I do not reproduce
Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I’m gonna ask to see her browser history “because it’s a good test for red flags.” Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.
I don’t think anyone is really trying to divine the true essence of your soul via youtube. It’s a conversation starter.
I don’t think etiher is implied here, but sure, I suppose it can be a conversation starter.
You are silly
Thanks, that’s one of my main goals in life.
I think the question is rather forward for a girl you just met at a party, but at the same time I think someone’s youtube recommendations would be a good indicator of some obvious red flags that someone may want to consciously hide from a prospective partner. For example, if someone’s feed is full of alt right/joe rogan/incel crap, or for women, full of FDS crap, you’re damn right I’m gonna judge.
How do you feel about gregorian chant remixes of popular children’s rhymes?
I think being interested in your own weird little niches is wonderful.
That’s a judgement too btw, but a positive one.
I can definitely see the point if it’s literally all there is in the feed, but if you just watch things from people you disagree with from time to time, and the algorithm picks up on it, there’s bound to be a few things in your feed that might “look bad” if they are used to draw conclusions about your worldview from someone who doesn’t know you.

So… what would happen?
I know you watched.
The biggest thing is that all the Muppets on Sesame Street canonically exist in the same world as us at the same speed as us. One week for us is one week for them. If Big Bird died in real life, he would also die in the show. Which would be a problem, since at the time he was the de facto audience insert and was as popular as Elmo is now. It would also definitely cause tone issues which patents might not like. Imagine if Elmo died and Big Bird had to try to explain to Zoe that her best friend wasnt coming back. Or imagine her bringing Rocco to the funeral.
He’d probably be the only survivor
Looks like a green flag to me! Fun vid.
My first recommendation is from that Townsend YouTube channel where the guy dresses up like it’s 1776 and cooks food from that time period with a funny authentic 1776 kitchen and cookware
Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.
Most of my browser history, youtube and podcast recommendations etc. are benign.
My fear is when they ask the question “when does VR Porn become cheating?” Because I don’t think anyone can answer that one honestly and the way one would expect.
Like my brain would say “when you can smell it” but that leads down a lot of other questions that scare me.
“when does VR Porn become cheating?”
The same point anything else does. It’s when you’re getting involved with another person and your partner is not cool with that. If you’re just consuming media it’s not cheating.
IMO if you ever ask someone whether porn is cheating, you should probably be put into an asylum and studied, because i cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would give a shit, unless it’s a shared mutual agreement between two parties, in which case, you probably wouldn’t ask that question.
It’s almost as insane as asking whether or not touching your dick counts as masturbation or not.
Why do so many people on Lemmy take things way too seriously
This is clearly meant to be a small tease for fun, and you’re telling them to fuck off lol
No context. What seems obvious to one person doesn’t come across that way to another. Plus, this is the internet. We see too many people who would do this seriously.
The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.
I’ve found that being really aggressive with my not interested/do not recommends keeps it down (but not absent). In my case I assume they pop up because I like watching history and gaming videos, even though I go out of my way to avoid anyone who’s dog whistle-y or chuddy.
The topic and creator based clustering of multiple interests will pollute that anyway, because they don’t care about precision and just care about keeping your attention
Wait you also watch DBZ highlights and wonder what super Saiyan Piccolo would have looked like? 😍
The last time I saw a DBZ episode there was only one set of dragon balls and the animation was 8-12 frames a second. Now it seems like everyone is immortal, there is a multiverse, and Goku can clown on actual gods for the lols.
No. So why do they keep coming up to me? Nothing against DBZ btw.
It’s giving you what your heart secretly wants and that’s useless DBZ facts. Accept our Lord and Savior Goku.
What is the reason for these two things to get grouped up and shoved down my feed? I’m a life long and very public activist for medical financial aid programs, public housing, sexual wellness, free kindergarten, hot meals, direct aid, take back the night, ada accomodations, needle exchanges, loan forgiveness, and just about every humane cause I know of. My viewing history is about as antithetical to Tate’s small dick energy as I can imagine and the anime I watch is more likely to be weird surreal stuff like Tengoku Daimakyou than some 50th year of dragon Ball
How does my feed switch from normal shorts to the incel only feed?!
Right wing propaganda receives heavy financial backing.
I wish I knew what I was doing because I very rarely get that stuff, unless I go to Shorts. Then that crap shows up in both the Shorts and my recommendations. After ignoring them for a couple days they go away and stay away as long as I also avoid Shorts… So maybe that’s the key?
At best it’s because there’s just a shitload of other people that are into that stuff no matter what else they’re watching so everything ends up associated with it. At worst Youtube specifically funnels people to that kind of content.
Clustering algorithms plus a focus on keeping your attention (watch time), not on quality
Hey this person likes anime and political subjects. You know what audience also likes these things, and is most likely to watch/click ads? Manosphere, incel, altright, losers! Recommend some Andrew Tate and Lotus Eaters.
A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.
Good point. I would have had to be there to see what the mood was like. She could have been funny as hell, and I’m just not picking it up from this tweet.
Edit: I just watched the video. It’s only about 8 minutes long. A great combination of funny and interesting. Recommended!
I did not get invited either.
Probably for the best.
It’s hard to convey tone with text.
It’s not. I spend too much time vetting and blocking right wing channels despite never watching any while logged in.
I usually binge a specific channel in a new subject then youtube blasts me with whatever they think will engage me the most and it’s always the trashiest content. Big red arrows, all caps, surprised faces, misleading thumbnails.
I once left a live stream open when I went to bed and the next day, I had train videos on my recommendations. They had raided into a train live stream.
I have watch history turned off precisely to avoid getting personal recommendations because they have always sucked for me
Hmmm I wonder what this say about me.
I watched this video because of you
It was interesting 👀
Made me want to taste test myself, am I doomed?
I dont think so. I shared this pic in a discord and literally seconds after a couple dudes started asking about the results of that test. I guess we all wonder that because I dont think the percentage of population using flavoured condoms is that high.
Well I wasn’t planning on immediately letting you know I like retro electronics, but have at it
