YouTube only promotes female cover artists (even on traditionally predominantly male fanbases)

OP is not logged in and is in incognito mode, so this is the default experience a fresh google user would get.

They’re doing it for clicks it’s clearly about the sex appeal.

Women just get more clicks than guys. Like, I post up pics of Warhammer minis I painted. The difference in engagement between when I post under just my normal guy account vs when I post under a female pseudonym is like a night and day difference. It's why I don't do that much hobby content anymore.

It's how the algorithm works. Incognito mode doesn't reset or hide what you click on. The AI isn't an all knowing entity. It sees "keywords" but not necessarily keywords strung together in the way you think. You most likely keep up with politics when it regards to women vs men issues. You are also looking up music videos. That's two separate keywords and it combined them.

Also, all it takes is one click for it to "learn" and start throwing more of the same. Right now all I see is clips from an anime I haven't seen in a year because I clicked one video of it.

So this is NOT the default experience for a fresh person. If anything it just shows how little privacy we actually have.

The algorithm is also dependent on device; partially at least. I watch youtube mainly on three devices. At work, on my phone, and at home. All three have extremely different targeted videos. Partially because I attempt to manipulate what is promoted. Partially because the home Youtube is shared.

Simple, Men are pathetic, speaking for the collective not the individual, creates a disproportionate amount of attention on women to which they don’t reciprocate all because most men are animalistic minded.

Too many effeminate men on Reddit to be asking this question, you'll be attacked by fairies far and wide, all men. The age of men is gone, Gen X seem to be the last of the real men, the ones that fought to give these fairies the freedom to express their weakness in the first place, now we have weak beta males that paint their nails and attack anyone that questions favouritism towards women or men acting like actual men...You've been warned, they hate testosterone.
You'll know who they are by the responses you get

This saying tells you what we're going through right now -
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times"
