Oh, I don’t use the algorithm. I have watch history off and only watch from my subscriptions page, that plus uBlock, Sponsorblock + DeArrow and any number of shorts blocker extensions make YouTube much more tolerable imo, highly recommend. I also archive my Favourites playlist (over 6k vids at this point) with yt-dlp to avoid losing videos and use Piped and invidious to get around geoblocks.
Where did you find this? Never seen anything like it in my whole life
It’s all over YouTube shorts from shitty third world content theft channels.
Oh gotcha. I don’t watch those.
They pop up regardless- the “algorithm”. I downvote and block the worst of them to try and reduce it, but Google still ends up pushing some in
