I may be mistaken, but that's not on Youtube's end. I think that just like making chat go into "slow mode" the person streaming can make it so that only chatters who've subbed for more than a specific amount of time can chat (usually this is to prevent spammers who will ruin really popular streams.) I've been in streams where that time has been set to having had to be subbed for at least 10 minutes.
Like I said in the search getting worse thread, it looks like I'm seeing more woke and current events stuff show up in suggested vids. This is even though I can't stand hearing woke bullshit, and I don't really keep up with the fearmongering MSM news anymore.
i had to clear my cookies to fix it. but yeah idk why this happened at all
How was the "your comments" page (or whatever it's called) used in past years?
When you see things like this government-ID required age-verification, they tell you it's to "protect kids" somehow, but it has the oh-so-convenient-for-corporate "unintended" consequence of adding another layer of tracking to EVERYTHING, because now EVERYTHING you watch/do/comment is tied to your REAL identity. The tracking doesn't stop as soon as you click off of the age-restricted content--It's there forever. And that's on top of the already highly invasive physical tracking by Google if you have an Android phone.
I have clicked "Don't recommend this channel" whenever Youtube recommends the Sphere Hunter at least 30 times over by now. I do not want to watch some tranny whore shill for Capcom.
I figured out what was causing the repeated recommending of "Beast Reacts" to me though. When one scrolls the front page and the thumbnails are squeezed in the center, the site can rearrange them to not be squished. When it does that, any thumbnails one blocked can be unblocked. I haven't seen something like you describe yet though.
