Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.

How can I filter that?

This is the only way. I've been doing it for years, in part because I absolutely hate catered content based on what I've viewed/read. Doing so only increases silos. At least with reddit (RIP)/Lemmy you pick from a potpourri of silos that are don't change depending on what I've read.

This is the only way.

No, that's just the only way to do it without putting in any effort.

I've have history enabled for years and I don't get much of the complaints people have about YouTube; my recommendations are fine and I usually find other channels I like that way, anything I don't like I dislike and mark as not interested and that type of content goes away after a handful of markings.

I understand the want of not being silo'd, but at the same time, I know what kind of brain rot YouTube can offer, so I'm happy to solo myself away from that dreck.

Happy with your catered silos isn't the same thing as no silos.

My "catered silos": motorsports, gaming, science, engineering, music, etc.

Oh no my biased opinions on whether or not the XR150L is worth buying or perhaps Minecraft Skyblock Challenge.
Please someone help me expand my views on Four Producers—One Sample, please!
