Do me this experiment please 🙏🥺. Go to YouTube and every time you see "Joe Rogan" anything, just go to down vote and unsubscribe...oh wait I meant, not interested.
You will find that you can't remove Joe Rogan from your feed. It's just going to come in the form of another video.
I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don't like and it'll go away over time.
I was going to say... maybe it's like those ubsubscribe buttons on spam email, lol.
content algorithms don't consider your preferences; they consider your engagement. if you downvote something, you're engaging with it. that's good for the site. they don't care if you hate it if it keeps you there.
Sorry but it's just you. I didn't even know Joe Rogan was on YouTube, and I'm on that website daily.
Your dislikes don't affect the recommendations you get; your habits do.
As someone who plays Heart of Iron and watches a bunch of history and gun channels, the only thing that got YouTube to stop pushing fascists in my feed was watching Dimension 20 and Some More News.
Ty, Brennan Lee Mulligan and Cody Johnston, for fixing my algorithm.
The algorithm for me is so fucked that I get ads for deepsea oil rig sand traps, and spanish language ads for deodorant. I live in the middle of the US am poor, and only speak English.
But if you ever need an oil rig in a pinch while also smelling refreshed, man, your prepared for it
I want to meet the person the ads are ment for, are there a lot of oil rig operators watching minecraft lets plays and Pop music videos?
Same. I've never looked up Joe Rogan and I've never gotten Joe Rogan videos on YouTube.
I have not seen anything about Joe Rogan on my Youtube in well over a year. and I am literally on youtube for most of everyday.
I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven't listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it's a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I'm being a roganesque conspiracy nut.
