(feddit.org) submitted 2 years ago by bremen15@feddit.org to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 98 comments fedilink hide all child comments Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing. How can I filter that?
[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have a question Why is election stuff rage inducing? Like what’s an example of a thumbnail you would see that would induce rage? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bremen15@feddit.org [S] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Example: Thumbnail with Trump and some other guy i dont know, big caption: "OH MY GOD!" Video title: "Trump Released the MOST EMBARRASSING Video EVER & You HAVE to Watch it! | Bulkwark Takes" I assume it is designed to induce rage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago I highly recommend the DeArrow extension. I was on a waiting list after installing, for a few days, and then once I got access it has made the entire YouTube experience much better. The extension removes clickbait thumbnails (replacing them with a part of the video itself), and clickbait titles are replaced with more accurate descriptions. It's all done by a big community, so the more popular videos are likely to have the edits, however overall it certainly is a better experience for me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) ? That is clickbait nonsense. I think it’s designed to induce as revenue. I generally don’t watch and avoid all versions of it, electoral and not (“You won’t BELIEVE what this HERO CAT did for Pennsylvania mother of 3”)… I get what you’re saying and it’s dumb but why does it cause you rage? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bremen15@feddit.org [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) For me, it does not induce rage but depression because it makes me sad. I don't even need to watch it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 2 points 2 years ago If seeing dumb video thumbnails on YouTube impacts your mood I think you need to stay away from YouTube. permalink fedilink source parent
