    Tool reviews are another area dripping in incel content. I installed a 3rd party blocker to keep that shit at bay.

      The Not Interested and Don't Recommend Channel buttons work surprisingly well for this. I am very protective of my algorithm so I try to avoid videos that I think will open up the flood gates for shitty content but in the event that it does, a few choice clicks of those two buttons usually has things bavk under control pretty quick.

          They definitely do because my recommendations are squeaky clean 98% of the time and those buttons, along with not clicking on shit that I think will poison my feed are the main tools I use to keep things clean.

          One thing to keep in mind is that YT makes changes to their algorithm every once in a while. For me, that typically manifests as sports channels, especially the NFL, or political stuff making their way into my feed. A few clicks of those buttons and I’m back to normal.

      I’ll have to start searching for “M12 milwaukee crown stapler female user”.

      Is there a manosphere specific content blocker?

        I use BlockTube for Firefox to manually block videos and channels. I don’t know if there’s a premade list or anything.
