I stopped using youtube a few months ago after trying out Newpipe which has no ads. I had a pretty well used and curated youtube account though and the algorithm, despite every now and then slipping in the occasional 'manosphere' video, was generally pretty accurate in recommending me things related to my interests.
However, I just opened the app after all this time and my whole feed entirely consists of two types of videos: black people reacting to things and chiropractors
what the fuck?
edit: shorts is basically 100% baby videos which is weird too
