[ Regarding your YT Recommended rant ]
FINALLY someone said what i was thinking for a while
I remember sometimes when I went on incognito mode on YouTube to view some video that I didnt want to go on my watch history [yeah ik you can just remove it but idc] and in incognito mode sometimes YouTube would recommend those politics/fearmongering/ragebait videos like with your experience... [but i dont even bother to view them] I just downloaded the Unhook extension so I would hide the recommended video sidebar so I dont have to see that shit. (those kinds of videos dont appear when im signed in, or at least they're much more tamer and rarer...)
I think a good point you forgot to mention is that those politic/fearmongering videos were recommended on videos with essentially NO correlation to politics from what i hear.
Also for a tip, I think in the settings for Invidious and NewPipe, there is an option to the hide recommended videos sidebar, so you can just see what REALLY matters [the video and comments, maybe even remove the comments if you dont care about those]
and finally on a more positive note, your site is very nice, i saw a few of your new vids a while back, even though bitview has been dead for quite a while, i remember to check in to your site, and i respect that you actually take an action to go against something and quit YouTube instead of grumbling about it but continuing to doomscroll like everyone else xD
and finally i guess either sorry or youre welcome for this longass comment
