Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.

How can I filter that?

    It literally turns off that feed you’re talking about?

    “How do I get rid of political recommendations filling my feed”

    At the extreme end - turn the feed off entirely. Then you dont get a homepage filled with political recommendations.

    What am I misunderstanding?

      Sorry, I thought turning off the history tracking lead to YouTube giving you a homepage full of the top trading videos? Like if you don’t log in with an account?

        Hence why I included a screenshot of what my homepage shows. Is that not loading for you? There are problems with different lemmy clients not showing images.

          Yeah I didn’t realize that’s what your homepage would just be permanently. I thought it was showing a message you get after turning off the tracking, based on the context. I now remember hearing about that changing recently, but it’s definitely not the way it used to work.

        If you turn off history you get nothing these days. Or at least that is what I get with firefox and the default ublock. Or maybe google slows loading down and I just don’t wait long enough for them to pobulate the homepage.

        It doesn’t matter as I access youtube by subscriptions only. I don’t have time to watch all the videos of interest there, much less scroll for something random.
