(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?
[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) It literally turns off that feed you're talking about? “How do I get rid of political recommendations filling my feed” At the extreme end - turn the feed off entirely. Then you dont get a homepage filled with political recommendations. What am I misunderstanding? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) Sorry, I thought turning off the history tracking lead to YouTube giving you a homepage full of the top trading videos? Like if you don't log in with an account? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hence why I included a screenshot of what my homepage shows. Is that not loading for you? There are problems with different lemmy clients not showing images. imgur link to the same image https://imgur.com/a/NG4ITcx permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago Yeah I didn't realize that's what your homepage would just be permanently. I thought it was showing a message you get after turning off the tracking, based on the context. I now remember hearing about that changing recently, but it's definitely not the way it used to work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bluGill@fedia.io 1 point 2 years ago If you turn off history you get nothing these days. Or at least that is what I get with firefox and the default ublock. Or maybe google slows loading down and I just don't wait long enough for them to pobulate the homepage. It doesn't matter as I access youtube by subscriptions only. I don't have time to watch all the videos of interest there, much less scroll for something random. permalink fedilink source parent [–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago This is a more recent change. permalink fedilink source parent
