LC Thread 2020: What the PUNK? ROCK.

Check out this site, which purports to show you how YouTube’s recommended videos appear to a Liberal, Conservative, Conspiracist, Climate Denier, Prepper, and Fruitarian(?).

Sure, but this is a terrible line of argument. It’s the coal roller who thinks they come up with a great gotcha when they point out a vegan has leather shoes. Yeah, existing is murder so fishing is no different, so hunting is no different, so factory farming is no different, so killing a lion for sport is no different, so…war is no different.

It’s shocking how quickly and easily your recommended videos change. I look up a recipe and all of a sudden lots of cooking. I look up an auto repair and all of a sudden lots of cars.

I made fun of Annette Oberstad’s cosmetics business on Zoom the other day and immediately had makeup ads everywhere.

It wasn’t an argument.

I suppose, but when I visit YouTube incognito, this is what I get.

You mean while you were talking to someone else?

I don’t see a problem.

lol, we have so many of those guys in my town, too. it’s always 1 US flag and the other is no step on snek, trump 2020, or molon labe. Every once in a while it will be the USMC flag, but that’s rare and less offensive to libs, so they don’t break it out often.

It irritates me that these assholes have co-opted the Gadsden flag.

Was a wedding party of like 30-50 people inside at a park near me. Called the cops, but it was still there an hour later so I guess thats legal now? WAAF

If they take the Moultrie Flag next, WW III is on!

LOL, Jonathan Isaac is that guy for the Orlando Magic who didn’t take a knee for the anthem, and he just busted said knee against Sacramento and got carted off in a wheelchair.

That was probably unclear. What I’m asking is if something used voice recognition from the Zoom call to come up with targeted ads. I didn’t realize that happens.

youtube thinks i’m a moron who wastes my time watching stupid videos. they must know me pretty well.

were you using zoom on your phone or was your phone nearby? It’s happened to me before when I was completely offline. Had a conversation in the car* with my husband about something, and it didn’t take long for me to see ads related to it. Only possible way was if my phone mic picked it up.

*This was in our entirely, heartbreakingly analog 2003 Jetta, so no fancy UI to potentially listen in, either. It still has a cassette deck.

It wasn’t me. I was asking MichaelDavis, if that is what happened to him.

either way. Yes, our phones and other electronics spy on us. It’s only slightly creepy.
