    And yet the top suggested videos were about how the Crusades were justified and how cop shootings are justified.

    I would think if the largest community was programmers, those kind of videos would be suggested, not this shit.

    Top suggested videos sadly speaks otherwise about the people on this site.

      You have the same garbage on YouTube but their algorithm hides it from you and shows it to the alt-right. Odysee doesn’t have an algorithm.

      You can’t really have an algorithm and privacy at the same time, so the best you can do here is downvote and block the video/channel.

      With enough downvotes (only around 2 more should be enough ) the video won’t be recommended as much.

      You can see it has one green blob thingy. That’s my downvote. It isn’t a huge platform to begin with so it is not like it takes much to drive out the trash.

      If it violates site policies or law, you can report the video and have it taken down, though it will only be taken down from Odysee, and not on other instances that use the underlying video hosting technology (LBRY)
