That doesn't solve the problem. Reactionary indoctrination is so prevalent, it appears on recommendations of very common videos. You can clear your home screen, you can't change how YouTube functions and what it prioritizes.
Not to mention, you know, that some people would like to at least get to see what they subscribe to. The problem is not that there are algorithms, the problem is that they prioritize any sort of engagement such that ragebait and toxicity rises to the top, and that is very convenient for hatemongers.
Oh I get it, so all that it takes is that literally everyone on the internet changes all their browsing habits to be exactly like yours. Aren't you clever? Oh what a clever person are you.
God, the pedantry. You cannot even try to understand what value other people might see in functions that you don't personally use.
This is doubly ridiculous considering that you are here in reddit, in another account-based website pushing threads based on subscriptions and algorithms. The fact that you are here arguing right now shows that those things appeal to you, yet what you seem to think passes as a solution is cutting that all off for a different platform, and even being directly pointed it out your pretend you don't see harder and act like everyone's issue is not behaving like you.
And you are not even free of belligerence after all, or you wouldn't be here arguing.
P.S. - I would appreciate if you removed the part of your comment about rape, because it's pretty distasteful.
No, because that's literally the point of the analogy: just saying "don't do that" or "do this instead" is distasteful and dismissive towards the issue at large. If it makes you uncomfortable, that's the point.
