I really hate it, YouTube has more restrictions than Cable TV now… I remember when you were allowed to reference the fact that death, bigotry, and sexual assault existed.

When I started regularly using it in 2010 it had the capability of recommending me channels similar to what I already watched. I remember people whining about things that would come to be known as “the algorithm” (the term wasn’t widely used tbf) as early as 2012
The algorithm has been around longer than it hasn’t at this point, even our awareness of it has, were just used to it
