YouTube is now unwatchable. Who's power is being stolen? Who is ostensibly stealing this power? Similarly, who is stealing their Democracy? And what country is this Democracy being stolen since we live in a Constitutional Republic?

Talk about dog whistles. Talk about being devisive. Talk about pitting Americans against each other. I'd say this is exhibit A in the divisiveness of Obama and the Democrat Party.

Adblockers are your friend on YouTube.

If you want to watch pure gold on youtube I highly recommend Kylie Flavell! Not only is her work excellent but she is in my top two list of most beautiful woman on Earth!

That’s why I watch YouTube on my home desktop computer web browser with an ad blocker active. I don’t see those ads, thank God!

AdBlock on the computer takes care of that.

Unfortunately, on your mobile device, it is going to be an annoyance. 2 unskipable ads on almost everything. More on the ones some of these idiots saturate with ads on top of the annoying 2 minute ads they read in the videos.

I have to just mute the sound until the nonsense is done.

Huh, Mine still looks like an echo chamber of whatever I’ve watched lately.

So the problem is that you’ve watched a couple of videos with Obama in them. And now Youtube thinks that what you want. and it plans to give them to you 24/7.

Good luck

Youtube is saturated with commercials. Its pathetic. Yeah, you can get ad blockers, but I generally watch it from ROKU. And as far as I’m aware there’s no such ad blocker for this.

What’s annoying is the screen I get when I open Youtube. I usually just look for guitar tutorials and some military and history stuff. And of course The Critical Drinker. For years I’d just get various suggested videos. Then a couple of years back it would put up a row of leftwing political garbage. This week it went to two rows of pro-RAT/CNN/MSNBC filth. It’s easy enough to ignore, but I’m going to stop using youtube at least until after the election. I have enough guitar tutorials downloaded and Scotty Kilmer is posting too many false headlines and frankly too many videos. So many content creators start posting more stuff than they really can do effectively, just to be putting stuff up.

I watch a lot of Youtube, so I got a Premium subscription—$11.99 a month.

While I don’t like to pay the Left, it means I don’t have to watch their sickening commercials.

Ever.

Talk about dog whistles. Talk about being devisive. Talk about pitting Americans against each other.

~~~

Duhhhhhhhh!

No offense, but it’s really obvious this is their M.O.

The media (from NY to silicone valley) are accusing Trump of dividing America because they (media) want to divide America and can be shielded from the accusation of such by anyone looking like a child saying “No I’m not. You are!”

They can dog whistle hatred all day long, and then demand their opponents to disavow divisiveness.

The whole reason that Wallace and the Press corps are hounding Trump to disavow Proud Boys or ‘white supremacy’ is because the DNC is actively stirring up demostic terrorism in our cities and they don’t want to get called out for it.

And what country is this Democracy being stolen since we live in a Constitutional Republic?

Michael Anton's book The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return (Washington, DC: Regnery, 2020) provides the answer. He argues that we are no longer a democracy or a constitutional republic but an oligarchy, ruled by a wealthy class of high tech and high finance magnates who use a coterie of "experts" to set their agenda and rule through an unelected bureaucracy and a court system dominated by activist judges.

Log out of youtube.

Close every tap except one.

Delete your history and cookies.

Close and restart the browser.

The reason you keep getting Obama videos is because you click on Obama videos and youtube believes you want to watch Obama videos.

If you're logging on to youtube and clicking on Obama videos your search history is likely set in stone.

I rarely log in to youtube with my user name. When I do, my past history comes back to haunt me because youtube links me to my past video choices.

Don't log in with your user name unless you want to comments and clear your history and you likely won't get Obama videos.

I don't click on Obama videos so I don't get recommendations for Obama videos.

Logging out and clearing your history will save you a lot of aggravation.

Clear your history and go back to youtube. If you don't log on you'll find the Obama videos are gone.

YouTube isn’t free. You can either pay cash money to YouTube for their YouTube Premium service and watch all videos ad-free, or you pay YouTube by lending your eyeballs to YouTube’s advertisers.

You are not a Democrat that expects to freeload off the rest of the world.
