Has anyone else observed youtube recommendations with anti-tracking

dem algorithms be crazy n sheit sumtimes

Dunno, I only get dumb gaming channels. I mostly watch tech and gun videos.

> Not knowing all tech companies have a liberal agenda
Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and possibly Youtube are censoring the Wikileaks emails.
Facebook went as far as to completely block any link to Wikileaks under "dangerous website". Twitter deleted the trending hashtag completely in favor of pro-liberal hastags that had little activity and Reddit is making sure no threads about the leaks make it to the front page

this may be a shock to you
but places like youtube also factor in the general populations viewing habits and uses that to display recommendations to users who don't have personalization enabled

hence, a lot of brexit shit during brexit


you literally have to be underaged to not understand this concept of a fallback general application

Censorship and using neo-liberal sensationalism as a means of suppression contradicts liberal principles entirely; so that is most certainly not a liberal agenda.
Mill would certainly not approve

I doubt specifically pro-brexit sensationalism would have dwarfed every other category so much that they are unrepresented, especially as the recommendations are side-bar recommendations which should be of at least moderate relevance to the material being viewed (which can hardly be stated about vintage vector monitor demos and stumpwm tutorials.) I believe this especially due to the nature of the voting habits of technologically well-equipped under 50s (the primary users of youtube) during the election, who had a clear majority in favor of remain.

This was actually stated in the OP

A hypothesis isn't stated and the dismissal of obscurity in the quoted post doesn't hold for the current trend

>please read the comment before replying
The quoted post ignores that the recommended videos are a specific subset of those pertaining to brexit.

I've literally never had this issue.
It only displays casual shit to me that would be displayed to others too. AND it's possible that certain location-based things get displayed. For example, I'm from Germany, and since yesterday the front page always shows videos about the shooting in Munich.
Besides that it's just casual shit like gaming videos, music videos, etc. But nothing that interests me.

You might be doing something wrong with your "anti tracking measures" because for me, literally just disabling cookies is enough to not get any personalized recommended videos.

>>55737883
I have ublock with the GNU Icecat privacy list added, self-destructing cookies and a few modifications to the firefox about:config. It should be sufficient.

Also I was referring to the recommendations that appear in the sidebar when you watch a video, specifically.

OP is a faggot

I experience this too OP.

My connection's quite slow so I batch download subscriptions overnight via a script so only check out occasional things 'live'.

Used to get a lot of Jeremy Kyle clips recommended
I'm seeing 'Inexperienced girl tries to land A320' on most videos I watch.

I thought they were just popular at the time, who knows.

>Any hypotheses?

Major plane-related terror act incoming in your location.

There are circles of people, who are being warned through symbolism in the media.
I'm dead serious, because I belong to these circles.

Did you try pausing and clearing your YouTube viewing and search histories? There's a setting in your Google account that does that.

>your Google account
We're a few layers of abstraction away from this.

YouTube has been confirmed to be tracking IPs now.

I was thinking more along the lines of the British government using this as a social engineering tactic to reduce air, or more generally international, travel at this turbulent time.

Can you post that script
