Swole Doge vs. Cheems - YouTube - 2005-12 v. now

The clickbait videos are nowhere near as obnoxious as the political videos with all-caps titles, since YouTube, for whatever dumb reason, loves promoting those on your Recommended list for days even if you clicked none of them.

I could not walk an inch on YouTube back when the Sonic movie released without the algorythm thinking I wanted to see one of the few dozens of videos about why it owned Birds of Prey and the libs in the process. No thank you, YouTube. Now stop showing me that shit, I am trying to see Smash Bros videos in peace here.
