It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

    Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.

    No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”

    Or

    “Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”

    And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.

    Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.

    Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.

    Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.

    But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.

    I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.
