Google pushes what you click. Stop watching this kind of content and it'll probably stop being recommended to you
Not true. I don't watch it.
And even if I did, it doesn't mean that I liked it. None of these tech companies' algorithms seem to account for that little fact, even when I directly express otherwise.
Well I practically never see these kinds of thumbnails, it's absolutely influenced by your behaviour whatever it may be.
they are not optimizing for your enjoyment, they''re optimizing for your engagement. they don't give a fuck if you hate what you're watching as long as you watch it for longer.
Yes that's my point.
Don't know about you but I don't spend my free time torturing myself.
