I get some manosphere stuff for the same reason, but mostly ignore it. At the risk of getting beat up here, I like Joe Rogan. His celebrity interviews are entertaining and I like wacky subjects like UFOs and such which he covers. Plus I'm a gamer so I watch videos about guns frequently because I find that fascinating though I don't want to own one. So that's why I'll get recommended manisphere stuff. And I'll get curious and take a look at those videos, and get more recommendations. But when I stop watching them, they go away. My recommendations are based on whatever I'm interested in at the time.

Everybody talks about Andrew Tate but I have never ever seen any of his videos. Him or Mr. Beast. They never get recommended. I only know about Tate because everybody everywhere else is complaining about him. So I don't what that researcher did to get that.

That lawsuit documents the case of a 19-year-old, K.G.M, who hopes the jury will agree that Meta and YouTube caused psychological harm by designing features like infinite scroll and autoplay to push her down a path that she alleged triggered depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality.

What the hell is everyone watching? YT recommends me Red Letter Media, Veratasium, old movies, Blender tutorials and a bunch of other stuff that's never going to drive me to self-harm. I don't understand. May be this woman doesn't have ad blocker installed and is forced to sit through a bunch of soul crushing PSAs? Why is my experience so drastically different from this?

A lot of sites had to block the UK like Imgur, or completely shut down like Urban Dead, because they aren't the kajillion dollar companies the UK government thought the Internet was made of. I don't know why the UK didn't enforce parental control software instead. OSA is a solution for a problem solved 30 years ago and is just going to destroy the Internet since it's not possible for the vast majority of it to adhere to its laws.

An autistic teenage hacker banned from having a computer used a fire stick in a hotel room to hack Rockstar games. I think any given 14 year old war driver can hack these devices and listen to your conversations. If the government will work their butts off to install a tap on a landline, how can they not use an Alexa.

At the very least, there's a teenager in your neighborhood listening to every damn thing you say. If you have cameras in your home, they're watching you.
