Yes! And there’s no, “Thumbs Down,” or, “Not Interested,” option, eo you can’t make him go away! Every fucking time I watch Last Week Tonight I have to see this smug dipshit’s stupid face.
I used to be a Bill Maher fan (like in my teens) his smugness was really off-putting though so I ignored them.
Religulous would have been more fun if he wasn’t such a prick in it. His outro was annoying AF.
Bill Burr said he was on the side of the student protestors calling for an end to the Palestinian genocide. Then Bill Maher said (I’m paraphrasing) that it’s the same as being pro-Hamas. Fuck Bill Maher.
Reminds me of how when my kids finish watching a decent-quality kids show on Prime or YouTube, the algorithm will try to autoplay absolute pablum like Baby Shark, Cocomelon, or some other trash. It’s like it deliberately chooses the most basic mind-numbing schlock available.
Reminds me of the time I finished watching a stick figure fight video as a kid, went to take a shower without realizing autoplay was a thing and came back to snow white hentai
dude baby shark is a time.machine. With baby shark playing 1 year feels like 10. I have PTSD from it. Not even over reacting, If I hear baby shark I start screaning “turn it off!!! turn it off!!”
Baby Shark Do Do Do Doo Do Do Doo Doooo…
Keep saying this, and no one has ever had a plausible answer: YouTube does not do that to me.
I watch lots of gun content, you would think I’d be overrun with right-wing horseshit, but that never happens. I get sane channels, apolitical, learning, legal and fun related stuff, like I like.
Here’s my front page this evening. All interesting except maybe some TV shows I’m not familiar with but have watched clips. Don’t think I’ve done much of anything to curate all that, just let YouTube decide.
The only time I remember the algorithm going nuts was after looking at survival gear and gas masks. LOL, quickly run down with crazier and edgier content. That could have been a rabbit hole, had to cut myself off before it got worse.
Maybe it has to do with my subscriptions?
One possible answer is that there is only one country on this planet that equates gun ownership with politics - from a global point of view it wouldn’t make sense to have an algorithm that connects fire arms to a particular political slant.
On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate
Would prefer to never have to see his eminently punchable face again, but truth’s a good start I guess 🤷
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
I’m more surprised it doesn’t fail to load. Fuck Hulu and their shitty player.

Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.
Even before that, I couldn’t stand him tbh. He’s probably one of the most smug people in the entire world.
He makes Jeremy Clarkson and pregnant women look like Keanu Reeves and Dolly Parton
dude, comparing Clarkson to Keanu? that’s a low blow, but whatever. i gotta say something about comparing pregnant women to Dolly Parton though. Dolly doesn’t deserve that. I’d like to think we’re better than that here on lemmy.

I was contrasting the smugness of Clarkson with the total lack of same of Keanu, which is eminently apt IMHO 🤷

Again, I was contrasting the extremely smug with the not at all smug.
I was complimenting Keanu and Dolly, not condemning them.
They rely on people getting up to take a shit after Last Week Tonight to juice those Bill Maher numbers
Does it autoplay or something?
In my experience, yes
To be fair I can see the leap. Bill Maher made HBO’s political arm for a long time…
Now he is just a tired old dip shit (instead of just a dip shit)
You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.
It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.
Legacy format. You should be able to fully block suggestions you’re not only not interested in but that make your stomach turn. We obviously have the tech to have more sophisticated suggestions now.

EXACTLY! It’s like they WANT me to associate one of if not THE best show on the platform with nausea and seething resentment!
If you love Gandhi, you’re gonna looove Hitler!!!
Turns on VPN for Brazil. yt-dlp the weekly episode. Place on Jellyfin media server. Rejoice.
Where is yt-dlp finding full episodes?
They post them to you tube after they air but they are region locked. Just find a vpn in South America and you can watch it (or download it)
Oh, interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of that sort of thing happening on YouTube. I know other platforms have different stuff in different regions. Netflix, etc. But I didn’t consider that a show would post full stuff for just non-US regions.
Thanks for the details.
I’m confused. Is it Bill Maher or just the concept of “You may also like” in general that you take exception to?
It’s Bill Maher and them continuing to try to push his stupid show after hundreds of failed attempts.
I don’t really have anything against a “you may like” function that DOESN’T insist on the same bullshit recommendation for over a decade of me rejecting it…
I wouldn’t even credit them with that much thought. It’s far more likely that it’s simply “you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here’s another late night political “comedy” talk show.”
The rest of the recommendations are pretty solid, though. I almost said something like the Game of Thrones doesn’t fit. But right now, it really does.
He was interesting at first and quickly turned in to a shit sandwich. Probably because anyone that full of shit can’t get it all out no matter how much they spew.
Backpfeifengesicht
You may 😁
