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.
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.
Well I practically never see these kinds of thumbnails, it's absolutely influenced by your behaviour whatever it may be.
