That creeping sense of dread when you click on a youtube video and realize it is stealth conservative propaganda and then knowing you are going to get a flood of suggested and promoted content of the same.

Seriously though its going to be such an annoying few months

@ZiaMacPine I find that going into the history and clicking the X button on the video in question does actually minimize the algorithm suggesting those videos to ya. Doesn't stop it, but does minimize it pretty good.

@TyHusky hmm I will try that, thanks for the suggestion.
