What's up with the gross videos being shoved into my Youtube search results (hexbear.net)

Just weird clickbait with fake makeup and prosthetics completely unrelated to what I'm searching

Obviously it's less bad than actual death and gore but it's still unpleasant to scroll through

Youtube's search function has been complete shit for a long time now anyway, you get like three actual search results before it starts showing you shorts, videos you've already watched and stuff from your recommendations

Lately Youtube keeps recommending me Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro videos. I even told it not to recommend those to me and reported them for terrorism (lol) but it still tries to get me to watch it.

Youtube is absolutely helping lead younger generations straight into fascism, because the algorithm or something

Youtube has been doing this to me for 10 years now. Blocking channels, videos, and pausing search history mitigates it only little. As time goes on it seemingly helps less and less.
