So is this for real, or is this just so you guys can have an inbox you can easily ignore?
Has anyone here actually talked to the admin team and gotten a response back?
Every day I look at the modlog and see the same names doing the same bullshit.
Thanks for reading my post and replying individually to a lot of the things I wrote.
I still think the trans thing sticks out like a weird red flag to me. Literally never before has Youtube ever suggested anything trans related to me. Then for a day and a half after I was working on that spreadsheet, it showed up at the top of the suggested videos. Since then, I have never seen it again. So in short: years of nothing, nothing, nothing, TWO DAYS OF TRANS VIDEO SUGGESTIONS, and then since, nothing, nothing, nothing.
It is bizarre and very fucky. Even after reading a lot of people telling me that it is just The AlgoTM at work, that incident seems so razor specific to activity I was simply doing on my computer at the same time Youtube was open rather than anything that could be related to my personal interests.
Am I really being paranoid?
Some context I’ll add to my main post in an edit: the only Youtube suggestions I get are music-related, since I use adblock+Youtube as my personal Spotify. It’s why I have Youtube open frequently despite knowing that it is not a great platform and it is also why any suggestions in my feed that are explicitly not music-related stick out like a sore thumb.
You guys are all the worst, I would never want to work with any of you. Do everyone a favor and grow up.
