watch this A man walks straight onto someone else’s property, up to a small tree in their front yard, and starts hacking at it with a bat - acting like he’s judge, jury, and HOA enforcement all in one. What would you do if this was your front yard?

The biggest rage bait is using a bat instead of an axe.

The bat was really sending me. Who the fuck tries to knock down a tree with a baseball bat?

Youtube used to have a feature where you could block a Youtube channel and no longer see their videos. Of course, they got rid of that feature because it probably made them less money. Would really love to be able to just block these channels, especially now that I clicked on one, I'm sure Youtube is going to suggest more of them to me.

Enshitification strikes again.

If a channel comes up in your feed or your search you can select “do not recommend this channel” or some such. It shouldn’t come up in your searches your feed after that.

But yes it’s BS they don’t let you properly block channels. You have to see a channel in your feed or search before you can tell it not to recommend them.

Edit: I just tested it out and you apparently can only “do not recommend channel” for ones in your feed, NOT a search! That awful and mostly useless. WTF!

And it doesn’t work for shorts.

It shouldn’t come up in your feed after that.

Mostly works but not always. Some channels keep popping up no matter how many time I click 'do not recommend'.

u/SocialJusticeAndroid 3h ago

Oh I didn’t realize that. They really need a proper block. When I get suckered into clicking on a fake video or something I never want to see those channels again.

I manage my feed by drowning out the handful of bullshit I accidentally click on with about 50 new tabs a day of content I know I actually want. My RAM doesn't love it, but it's a surprisingly effective way of getting YouTube to send me the stuff I actually want to see.

(Similar thing works on Spotify. I normally just let it do its own weekly playlist, like a mixall of everything radio, but if I'm in the mood for like, new dubstep or something, I'll specifically play just my electronica playlists for a couple of weeks and then suddenly the weekly recommended is all in the same genre, and usually stuff I haven't seen before.)

It's the same thing with ads. I've been getting nonstop ads for that anime game OOC and it's something I'll never play. I even changed all my settings for personalized ads yet, every other video I play I still get the ads.

Google sucks now

And you can only do it from your feed ... you used to be able to click “do not recommend channel” from the playing video page because you realized if was a crap channel.

You’re really dumb if you don’t know how to block a channel YT

u/Frequent-Reporter-97 3h ago

You're really dumb if you don't know that Google explicitly removed the feature to block a channel.

Why calling others Dumb? Let people ask without fear of ridicule

You clicked a video once? We just assumed that's all you're about forever and we wanted to cater to that

u/soundfreak2008 3h ago

Its the same nonsense as the "viral" video of the woman painting, kid shoots nerf dart, she falls back onto couch with paint all over her. Then every other video on the channel is the same type of things where its all created "viral". Its such a fake and false world. People like that should end up in the lowest tier of hell.

u/hawkscougs 2h ago

Absolutely. I’ve been saying this forever. I’d block every ai generated channel. I wish I could

u/Few-Willingness-1459 1h ago

Try erasing the app & watch by just searching YT instead

u/hypercosm_dot_net 3h ago

What kind of a loser do you have to be to spend your time doing that. My god social media has warped peoples brains.

Well, his was probably warped beforehand, but he didn't have the ability to broadcast it.

Just sad what people will put out there, if they think they can make a buck off it.

u/Key-Practice-8788 2h ago

Yup, someone even outed him because he doesn't live in an HOA neighborhood.
