Fucking YouTube my people.
I am South African. Considering a move to another country so we were watching expat videos from that country. Fuck me if YT didn’t take two searches to start serving up content about white slums and the impact of Affirmative Action on the whites of SA.
To be clear I want to move for an adventure and to further my career. I’m mixed race and have no beef with AA, YouTube wants name to be a frustrated white person who wants to leave due to politics. Get fucked.
Cool story bro
What exactly is confusing about this? About two weeks ago I watched an episode of a show about atheism and within minutes I started getting ads for prayer and Bible apps. I played a math help vid for my 4th grader and started getting ads from Epoch Times about the globalist trans conspiracy. I started watching the Young Turks (liberal), and got Prager-U
YouTube ad program is targeted people with content that they don't want.
Actually, it's more of an anecdote. But mainly a comment or a reply, which is kind of the point of a forum-style social media site like Lemmy or Reddit.
In other words, unlike yours (and mine), they're actually *contributing to the discussion.
edit: typo
Yours may not be contributing to the immediate discussion, but I would say that taking the time out to politely educate someone on etiquette is still contributing to the overall discussion on the forums.
Oh if I were to contribute you little shirt bird commies would just do what you do and downvote and get nasty, because you feel you're superior on lemmy with majority far leftists.
So really you need not look far to find your own blatant "etiquette" violations all over the fucking place.
So do, please come off your high horse. I'll get a ladder.
