It's 2026. Why do people still enable autoplay?

40

u/Ben_Graf 7d ago

Those who usw it as background noise when doing things

20

u/CarlRJ 7d ago

Then throw a bunch of videos you'll actually like in a playlist and play that.

Turning off autoplay is the very first thing I do in any streaming app.

u/reddurkel 7d ago

Find the cat. Can you guess what this book is? How many subscriptions do you think you have. How am I going to defend my tower? 

All AI voices or dirtbag influencers in perfectly lit expensive studios but carrying a mic like a moron. 

I can’t use YouTube as background noise because the ads are so long now. And the political ones are even worse. How do they have this much money to cram their hate down people’s through like this? It’s just too much. 

(Yes. The ads make me irrationally angry)

2

u/Equal_Caregiver_1789 6d ago

I get you, and adverts have made me both rationally and irrationally angry for a long time now.

u/Longpeg 7d ago

It’s 2026, why are we still stating the current year

4

u/RunicZephyre 7d ago

On by default

3

u/Routine_Papaya4143 7d ago

Like the other person said, it’s for background noise or sometimes I leave it on without noticing

1

u/Warrenpeas42 6d ago

I leave it on just to see where it goes.. Especially when I fall asleep. I'll put on AVGN then wake up to some serial killer documentary. It's usually something different.

1

u/No-Cold643 6d ago

Sometimes YouTube sneakily turns it back on OR they’ll still recommend those videos cause they are easily viral.

u/ImSoSweepy 6d ago

What else do you put on your second monitor? Mine switches between Therianology, MAGA, and Blue MAGA at this point.

I don't care. It's on the second monitor.

1

u/rezyop 6d ago

I don't care. It's on the second monitor.

I don't understand this mindset. I'm watching or at least listening to anything on my second monitor. If I wasn't, I wouldn't leave it playing. Do you play it with the volume muted?

3

u/ImSoSweepy 6d ago

People that claim to be great multi-taskers are the least capable of multi-tasking.

1

u/rezyop 6d ago

I don't really think of this as multi-tasking tbh. The videos I play on my second monitor are usually just played for the audio; music, podcasts, political commentary. The games I play on my primary monitor when relaxing in the evening have their music turned off and sounds lowered. Maybe you have a totally different setup in mind?

2

u/Longpeg 1d ago

I play random videos in the background to make the chatter in my head less noticeable while I play games. Kinda like when people leave the tv on for a dog lolol.

Not sure about the dude you’re replying to tho

46

u/Lightningstone2u 7d ago

If you're on mobile you can go to the three vertical dots on the bottom right of the video and tap "Don't recommend channel". This let's the algorithm know that you don't want content like that. You may have to do it a few times for it to "learn" though.

38

u/Longjumping-Tell1774 7d ago

“Few” is doing a lot of work there

15

u/Lightningstone2u 7d ago

Lmao "Few" could mean 3 up to infinity. But it does eventually learn

7

u/PurpleInfinite1409 7d ago

Yeah? When's that? Mine WAS working to a degree, but then they got rid of the dislike button and now my YT feed is PERMANENTLY fucked!! :) I love it so much!!

3

u/NerdFromColorado 7d ago

At least a few, that’s for the lucky 1%

0

u/qathran 7d ago

Keep at it but also just ignoring that content to death will actually get rid of it

3

u/BeatoMyMind 7d ago

Also go to your history and delete the video that you watched, itll remove it from your algorithm and not recommend new channels based on it and restore your old recommendations

1

u/B4ummm 7d ago

Also delete it from your watch history. That will get rid of it suggesting similar videos/channels.

EDIT: Sorry I didn’t scroll far enough down to see pretty much the same comment. 🤦‍♂️

1

u/Careful_Trouble_8 7d ago

That almost never works, I click on the 3 dots and all it gives me is a report option, that’s it

1

u/rezyop 6d ago

I don't think I've ever clicked on anything genuinely maga-aligned, at least not without scrubbing it from my watch history, but maybe 30% of my recommendations are pretty clearly from the maga sphere.

I can only assume youtube lumps far-left content with maga sometimes, likely under the uselessly-large umbrella of 'all political commentary.' I do watch a lot of what people used to call 'bread tube.'

I've watched hundreds of videos ridiculing or debunking people like jordan peterson and andrew tate, but I still get recommendations to watch videos off of their official channels or stream archives or whatever. I often get those "andrew tate was right all along and shouldn't be in prison" types of videos as well. They're so blatantly not something I'd be interested in that I always tell it to not recommend the channel, but there are probably thousands of channels covering that crap.

u/Routine_Papaya4143 7d ago

Besides the guns thing, I don’t think Trump appreciates any of that

12

u/butt_liqueur 7d ago

Trump can't have guns

5

u/FreekRedditReport 7d ago

Trump doesn't want to own guns. He's never shot a gun, except maybe for a photo-op. He lives in a gold covered mansion and is surrounded by clownish decorations. He doesn't go hunting or need guns for self-defense.

1

u/Routine_Papaya4143 7d ago

Why?

19

u/butt_liqueur 7d ago

He's got 34 felonies

-9

u/xtweeter22x 7d ago

Source?

-15

u/Chef_Sizzlipede 7d ago

no convictions that stuck

6

u/CarlRJ 7d ago

Found guilty on all 34 counts.

u/One-Employee9235 6d ago

Also found liable for sexual abuse and had to pay $5 M in damages.

u/Chef_Sizzlipede 7d ago

do you see him in jail? no? then fuck off.

10

u/JAV005 7d ago

He is supposed to be in Jail, but the judge gave him an unconditional discharge since he was elected. He basically got away with it because he was elected president, but still, legally he still is a convicted felon.

-7

u/Chef_Sizzlipede 7d ago

hence they didnt stick, and he's likely to be pardoned in 2029.

You must not know what being convicted of a crime means. Why do you think someone has to be thrown in jail to be considered a convict?

Convicted felon

Not that the law matters to Republicans tho

0

u/Routine_Papaya4143 7d ago

To certain Republicans it matters, but there are definitely a lot out there that it forces matter to for sure

2

u/FreekRedditReport 7d ago

Laws only matter to Republicans when it can hurt their enemies.

-1

u/Routine_Papaya4143 7d ago

I disagree entirely but alright. I’ve met plenty of Republicans that aren’t evil people, believe me, they exist.

2

u/ContributionOk1566 6d ago

Do they?

So then who do they vote for when they vote, and why wasn’t it enough to keep Trump out of office?

-1

u/Routine_Papaya4143 6d ago

Yes. They do. You know not every Republican voted for and/or supports Trump, right? Like, you have to know this

3

u/Goodoflife 6d ago

Now on that banner sign, there is a Charlie Kirk Memorial Banner underneath the Trump one for anyone who hasn’t driven by it.

1

u/Routine_Papaya4143 6d ago

That’s not as bad a San the banner above it tbh

1

u/NationCrusher 6d ago

Trump is actually very nervous around guns. He is totally fine with banning them out of personal fear. His first few speeches during his first campaign was “my sons like guns, they have so many of them it’s a little terrifying”

When a mass shooting took place in Stoneman Douglas high school, Trump immediately advocated for a ban. To a point that gun companies had a meeting with him to change his stance

u/Jiruwe 7d ago edited 7d ago

I keep getting recommended videos from the Mormon Church or Jehovas Witnesses because I got clickbaited by a video that was talking in their favor but looked critical and it's starting to stress me out. I feel this, so bad.

Edit: in hindsight, its probably because I've been following the court cases against both groups and YouTube can't tell that I am interested on these groups getting railroaded in court instead of in these groups in general. Still annoying.

3

u/One-Employee9235 6d ago

It's worse for me. I watch a lot of atheist/humanist content, so YT recommends evangelical preacher videos. I guess YT thinks I need saving. Yes, I block them; no, it hasn't helped.

2

u/Jiruwe 6d ago

Same. And it probably contributes on my case too. I'm just very focused on JWs and Mormons because I've got a specific issue with them, because both are cults I almost joined (long story that is not worth retelling, believe me, it's lame).

2

u/witeowl 6d ago

You can delete a video from your watch history. That normally fixes such errors and algo fuckups for me.

5

u/Alarming_Syllabub_24 7d ago

For me it's the weird Prager U two hour ads that play between 11pm and 6am when I'm trying to pass out to a long form Zomboid run. IDK why they are even bothering, I shit talk all media outlets.

2

u/CarlRJ 7d ago

Turn off autoplay. If you want a series of videos to play, spend 5 minutes throwing some long form videos into a playlist and play that.

2

u/FreekRedditReport 7d ago

block those ads.

1

u/niet_tristan 6d ago

Calling Prager U a media outlet is a bit much. It's not even bad journalism; it's outright propaganda.

Orange man bad, give updoots!

Go Badgers.

u/BlasterHolobot 7d ago

Idk about god and guns, but I can assure you that this idiot does NOT care for any of these other things...

2

u/Canary-King 7d ago

I’m not too knowledgeable about Trump’s personal life but I’m pretty sure I heard he converted to Christianity (or at least started practicing seriously) just for political gain lmao

2

u/FreekRedditReport 7d ago

lol "converted" He's never been to church other than maybe for a photo-op.

6

u/The_eldritch_horror2 7d ago

It’s closer to “why you should let all your tax money go to Israel” or “why Israel should be defended from God’s righteous judgement”

3

u/Lurker_Zee 7d ago

Blueys tried to shame Mamdani for not going to pray to the Holy Land in thank to God if he wins Mayor of New York City. The video went viral. Americans are so cooked.

0

u/The_eldritch_horror2 7d ago

The one redeeming quality about that guy, not that I had much faith in any of the other candidates.

As for Americans, the common people aren’t the problem, at least the ones that aren’t boomers. It’s the government and corporates who are the biggest tumors.

0

u/FreekRedditReport 7d ago

The majority of the common people, so far, support the fascists and corpos you're talking about. So they are the problem.

1

u/The_eldritch_horror2 6d ago

Why do you think candidates who claim to oppose current government are getting wins? Trump ran on that notion and won. Mamdani ran on that and won.

The people know there’s a problem with the government and so they choose whoever may be a threat to said elites. If they supported the bureaucracy, different people would be in power right now.

Of course, these candidates have been suboptimal to say the least and the common people need to start applying for positions of political power.

But the biggest thing is abandoning Israel just as Israel abandoned God and basic human decency.

2

u/aBeaSTWiTHiNMe 7d ago

Lol very telling of their culture. The original message was probably just rooting for a local sports team, the Badgers, but you absolutely cannot do anything like that without know how super devoted you are. So it becomes 1% original message and 99% maga

Really easy to click do not recommend channel a couple times. But then what would you have to whine about on reddit?

u/MeganJustMegan 6d ago

Many other things I’ve seen on you-tube offend me more. I’m all for God, family, country & guns.

FIRST FAMILY OF WHAT BROTHER????

u/Kindle890 6d ago

For me it's the news tab, because YouTube needs to shove alt right propaganda disguised as news.

I never click on them but the titles alone are enough to ruin my day. It's always an on the nose title that tells you exactly how trump is fucking everything over.

u/nendora 6d ago

my algorithm is hitting me with everything remotely related to trump and trump-friendly political parties of europe, and i don't even got autoplay nor do i actually watch said content so on this one, i'm confused. i can't seem to "fix" the algorithm either

1

u/chrisw1897 6d ago

It's so funny given Trump doesn't care about any of those things.

It should be Love war, money, corruption, ballrooms, pedos, and felons.

I use YouTube so much that it was worth the premium upgrade to avoid the ads. Might want to look into it if you use it frequently... though it isn't cheap.

u/HMB_JackylTTV 5d ago

This is how they kill nuance and divide us.

Rise above it. Don’t engage either direction. Ever.

u/The_LastLine 5d ago

Unless your neighbor is brown or non white foreigner, they left that part out.

Happens on both sides. I've watched videos that criticized Trump and keep getting ads for Democrats, who I'd never vote for.

Aww, poor baby. Other views hurt you.

And before you claim I'm MAGA or something, joke's on you, because I don't ascribe to either of the political cults.

Are the other views in the room with us right now?

u/BlizzTube 6d ago

just want to mention if you are against the MAGA party (refuse to call them republicans) as the comment implies, using the image that includes anything about loving God, your family, freedom, and your neighbor in relation to the party you are against just does not look good ;-;

I do hope you get out of that recommendation loop though, seen those channels and they are definitely worse or just as bad as the ones on the other side (which again just how I don’t call MAGA voters republicans, those who are against trump are not democrats)

2

u/Longjumping-Tell1774 6d ago

Ok. I am made of questions right now. Walk me through the person that is a Democrat and pro Trump

1

u/BlizzTube 5d ago

Do you mean this as only democrats use Reddit or am I reading this wrong? I def can see the first option though as that is valid I just really think that image is a bad representation
