Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Of fucking course one of the most recent ones is about the "humanity's last invention" and it's implied to be a treat printer of sufficient size (which may wind up true in an unintentional way if the magic mirror on the wall requires that much electricity and that much water), but there were other bazinga whoppers, each with that obnoxious corporate-art thumbnail clickbait.

I was able to de-MAGA Youtube. I'm not sure how to de-bazinga it now. debord-tired

Honestly just use newpipe or freetube with subscriptions. Life changer tbh

[–] TrimmedDubya@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Newpipe is my goto, but I've been using grayjay whenever youtube updates and breaks newpipe.

it’s easy, don’t watch youtube unless you have a question a-guy engineering/diy (including “redneck” ones) is much, much, better cause they explain the thing that exists and build it/touch it, instead of “wot if I read two science fiction books, one press release about article I likely don’t understand and start talking shit”

[–] musicpostingonly@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Only thing I use YouTube for. How-to’s and the like. It keeps my feed somewhat sanitized.

Except for Uncle Roger. That shit is all over my feed no matter what I do.

report kurzgesagt for harmful content. it's liberalism, it's harmful. that should help.

Assuring millions of people in reach that "Team Humanity" wins if 99% of the population are wiped out in a climate disaster, therefore trust in the enlightened wisdom and disruptive innovations of the planet-burners to save the planet, is a pretty harmful propaganda message, that's for sure.

BlockTube shit list. I have all the Simon Whistler (I think that's his name?) shit on there so that should help trim some of the techno crap you see.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Appreciated.

Simon Whistler

lmaooooo that MF is everywhere

it's actually funny except the content is pretty sloppy

[–] Commiejones@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

You cant beat the algorithm. Just when you start to get ahead of the curve and think you might be close they change the rules and all the trash starts flooding in again.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I've tamed the algorithm enough that it sends me 1 or 2 view videos. So now they tried a new tactic and started sending me some fucking klanadian pro-zionist podcast thingy that had like 50 views per episode. WHY exactly would you think I want to see this? Is it all the pro-palestine videos I watch and like? omori-furious

You might already know but they're literally funded by Bill Gates lol

Those that look for some goofy silver lining to climate catastrophe and nuclear wars because humanity won't be totally annihilated are not serious people. picard

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What kind of techbro nonsense?
