   @mathowie I gave up on Shorts and eventually turned off history (which turns off recommendations altogether) because it would not stop feeding me far-right assholes. It's pretty shameful

     I watch a ton of YouTube and my personal rule is any recommendations that include Joe Rogan are channels I instantly block forever.

     What’s wild is I have to block a few new channels every week as it seems there are hundreds of channels with Joe Rogan clips all with names that include “JRE” and the YT algorithm really, really wants me to see some Joe Rogan flat earth bullshit now matter how much I avoid it all.
