Fuck youtube. You watch one wrong video and half of your recomendations are fucked. And why in 2024 there’s no proper tag system yet? I guest keeping things opaque makes them more money.
They used to have a definitive tag system and got rid of it, just like annotations and video responses. sad. Of all things, tags were probably the best too. The new algorithmic garbage has sucked for years.
Go into your YT history (https://www.youtube.com/feed/history) and delete the offending video. Your recommendations should be back to normal within 24 hours (ish). There’s even a search bar for it.
I was watching Gun Jesus and almost fucked my recommendations forever when it tried to toss up Garand Thumb as a recommendation.
“Fortunately” he blew his dogwhistles way too hard in the video and I caught on that this wasn’t just dudes shooting at ballistic gel in interesting ways.
I love gun Jesus but man I have to be ever so vigilant to not autoplay the the recommendations. Almost every other youtube gun enthusiast is a raging asshole.

Out of curiosity, which group was it?
Pro-Confederacy and radical “anti-communist”
So, you know, a garden variety American fascist. Which is pretty insulting to the guys who actually got Garand Thumb.
