I have always had a pretty "conservative" youtube algorithm. It's mostly guns/firearms, woodworking, etc. with clips from your typical conservative commentators sprinkled in (Shapiro, Kirk, Walsh, etc.). I'm not overly political on there at all, but that's what I get fed. I was never getting anything left leaning. Since Harris took over, I get an ad every other video asking for a donation to her campaign (never seen a conservative donation or just general ad). And now I'm getting all sorts of things saying Trump had a terrible speech, worst week ever, Kamala is amazing. I still get the other stuff, but there's definitely a forced push of her into my feed that I definitely didn't cultivate myself. There's no doubt society being manipulated with propaganda from these platforms.

Yeah I'm watching a crazy canuck splice a 1960 chevy impala and this dumb bitch pops in for 5 secs on every video.

I actually just went to YouTube
Expecting to experience the same thing
All the videos are the same I usually see
However I have noticed the ads as well when I play something
So I guess they are spending millions there advertising

Hähnchen must have a search constantly running for Harris.

I just checked mine. There was a "News about Kamala Harris" suggestion and it was a CNN video. So, looks like it's happening to my account as well.

I don’t consume political YT videos. Just checked my feed and there are no political videos in it. Idk.

I keep getting the ads for her too even after blocking them. I've started reporting them because they are for the Biden Victory Fund.

I’m tired of having to skip the Kamala begging for cash ad in every video I watch. Where’s the not fricking interested button so that I can not see that shite again? They are spending big time on the YT

Type in "Trump" or "Kamala" in the search bar and see the different style of results.

My feeds and suggestions haven't changed at all. But I don't see youtugbe ads in Chrome. Not surprised if they purchased a ton of advertising, though.

First, bullshite. Second, they can tell by your algo, you're already in their camp, so, no need to spam you.

Are you on premium or free YT? We pay for premium and don't seem to get those ads.

Ads. I don’t know how she doesn’t make every single person in the country’s skin crawl. She’s so fricking worthless.

My You Tube feeds have been very slow to load in the past few days. Maybe I'm being punished for watching Shapiro, Kirk, Walsh, etc. a lot.

The Kamala campaign is pretty friggin stupid placing their ads on nearly every conservative channel that I frequent. Do they really think that will accomplish anything? It irritates the hell out of me.
