I’ve just had another Tommy Robinson video recommended to me on a completely unrelated video, despite me never watching his content, and actively clicking “Not Interested” on his content multiple times when it has been recommended before.

So, either YouTube is serving covert ads to premium users, the algorithm is so broken that it is ignoring the preferences of users to push content on them that has no relation to their tastes, or Robinson is using misleading metadata, which is against the TOS. Which is it?

I’ve just looked and it doesn’t appear that Robinson is using misleading tags (although there is video content there that is arguably against the TOS, but that’s another matter), so either he is paying for placement, or the algorithm is busted.

I really don’t think it is the algorithm though, because it works just fine for other channels and content. Robinson is the only channel that keeps being recommended to me, no matter how many times I click “not interested”

By the way, using his logic, my snooping and “investigating” mean I’m now a journalist, so I demand that y’all pay me for the content of my tweets and give me press accesspic.twitter.com/3CIEa5zMNE
