I am just explaining to you how Google/YouTube works, but you do you.

That sound rather uncomfortable. Ickie ickie my dear Watson.

Although i do own some self confidence to a healthy degree, what you describe sounds like pure narcism : "You do you" .

I rather have some gorgeous woman do me. Examples enough. :"Hand squeezing with a grinning gaze"...

I am certainly not going for a : "Lube tube".

I am not that handy with using the quotes. So bare with me.

That is partially a lie. The honest truth is that most images i posted of women in clothes or swimwear and sometimes even lingerie, were presented to me while traversing facebook. And i got recommendations from facebook to groups with those images after posting messages and viewing pages of various famous actresses and singers.
So, facebook shares search history with Google and with youtube ? Yes ?

It is very simple. Several of the youtube videos you have posted are of onlyfans models. You might not know they are OF models, but google does (they have onlyfans links in their about pages). Google's algorithm bases content on your viewing history. It is a pretty logical conclusion that someone viewing videos of onlyfans models would want more of that sort of thing in their feed. Use incognito mode when viewing salacious content if you don't want it impacting the algorithm. Alternatively, maybe cleanup your viewing habits? I view naughty stuff, but my youtube feed is very PG (currently full of Japan related stuff as I prepare for my vacation).

You do you means you can do whatever you want, none of my concern. But don't act surprised when YT suggests content you might like, that is all I am saying.

I will never deny that i do not like the content. Those dames sure look great, but i got a condition...


No Seriously.
I understand what you are saying and i sort of agree.

It is just that for work related situations not that handy nor family situations.
So once again, with restriced mode activated, nudity should have a category button.

Sites like Google, Facebook etc basically know what's on your screen in your browser then sell that info to all sorts of 3rd parties. I'm really not sure how they do it, and it's kinda freaky, especially considering hackers could easily do the same. But basically whatever text is on your screen they know. Maybe also pictures. Now days with AI they can get pretty granular. If you have a smartphone running a non custom rom and it's sitting near your computer they can gather lot of audio data too. So if you're talking about something you are likely to see stuff related to it when you're online.

Things like Privacy Badger and using an ad blocker help to some extent, but I've found that it's still not 100% especially if a phone is involved as they just scan physical environment more than anything.

The OP is part eccentric, part smart, part duplicitous, and part sophist.

Youtube's algorithm is plenty dumb, in that it tends to repeat and repeat and repeat the same stuff over and over again to the point you're in a tunnel vision universe.

And prior to the their "blank page", the "uninfluenced" algorithm loved it some SSSniperWolf.

There was once a cyber security company that found out that the meta API library allows for a lot more gathering of information than is told in the EULA from facebook while using facebook on android phones. Everything you type, passwords, camera use... Could be gathered.
But that news was hushed quickly.

It was not clear if the hidden meta API library functions that were the security issue also function under personal computer operating systems and with the PC browsers...

I have difficulty remembering which security news bulletin that was.
But it was worrisome.

Yes, that is something i always forget in general, is there not a way to make private tabs default ?
Or create a new google account and use that for YT. And don't use Chrome.


You can do it in Brave on desktop, probaly others as well.

No, as i mentioned before i did not search for all that. Then i should see 100 youtube videos about music, tech stuff and physics stuff. And like 2 or 3 videos with women still with their clothes on. When i click a video with a good looking woman or search for an actress, it is because it is presented to me and happened to be curious. 1 out 100. I am not interested into click bait.

I never see any of that. I do wonder how these algorithms work, though. It's not always obvious how these sites associate certain types of content with other content - seems it maybe depends on whether they've found that people who look at the former, on average, demographically-speaking, tend to be interested in the latter as well.

My habit of watching youtube videos on aviation disasters and WW2 history seems to cause Youtube to serve up ads for dating sites. I really don't care to think about what that means.

I am once again going to tell you that you can go into your YouTube search history and your YouTube watch history and remove items to alter what your feed presents to you. Regardless of how whatever it is that's prompting YouTube to show you these videos got there, be it hacking or whatever else, if you check through those and remove items that seem like they might prompt this kind of content, it should impact what you're being shown. As mentioned, if you're using Chrome, stop.

Unless you take active steps to prevent it, google knows what you're doing. Whether you search or not, if you interact with a type of content, google will try feeding you more of that content. I'd be surprised if any other company can track as well as google. Idiotbook is probably their closest competitor.
Sorry if google did that and applied it to my youtube recommendations they would probably be half Japanese porn tbh

Also mark the videos as "Not Interested" or the channels as "Don't Recommend Channel". I don't see any of the trash big YouTube channels (and haven't for years).

Assuming it was hacking, this genius guy can avoid future incidents by can use a proper paranoid password that reaches the maximum character length allowed, make it so that only he can decipher it. Then turn on two-factor on his phone, find some safe spot to store said phone, etc.

I'm surprised if he hasn't already done all this.

There are funny things about YouTube algorithms. I started watching some gaming videos from an FPS game I'm playing right now. Suddenly, I have a ton of videos showing up with scantily clad women in the picture as well as suggestive titles. All I can think is that games == teenage boys, who probably gobble this stuff up in tandem.
