Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
No, YouTube just has an (among other examples) "young white western male" problem.
The algorithm works hard to jam you into a pigeon hole no matter how abhorrent you find the pigeon shit contained therein.
It's an AI problem. Because the algorithm only looks at things you have done, which after some time include you looking at its recommendations, it cannot see past the bucket it has you in.
It's more about your demographic. Doesn't matter if you've never watched anything even remotely related to JRE, if it's popular around your local area it'll be recommended to you.
