Yes if I watch any comedy I get a Seth Meyers recommendation.
Confirmed toxic bluecheck programming propaganda.

It just recommends me Fox News videos. I don't watch TV, let alone Fox News or any cable news for that matter. The news media is 100% proganda and sensationalism.

Can confirm. I go do programming and all that other good stuff (especially small guides to learn something new) and those are virtually never recommended. But gossip and tech reviews are a plenty. Can't even tell it not to recommend me those types of things, I have to literally opt out channel by channel.

95-99% of what I watch is fabrication/machining/manufacturing and general how to make stuff videos, the bulk of the remainder being hunting/shooting with the occasional hot-chick or music vid thrown in.

95-99%(more like 100%) of my recommendations are either channels I already subscribe to or insipid fluffy bubblegum and social media IQ-lowering/thought-death content............

(started clicking don't recommend this channel on all of my subbed channels and now I hardly get any recommendations...)
