How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?
She's almost 70, spend all day watching q-anon style of videos (but in Spanish) and every day she's anguished about something new, last week was asking us to start digging a nuclear shelter because Russia was dropped a nuclear bomb over Ukraine. Before that she was begging us to install reinforced doors because the indigenous population were about to invade the cities and kill everyone with poisonous arrows. I have access to her YouTube account and I'm trying to unsubscribe and report the videos, but the reccomended videos keep feeding her more crazy shit.

you can try selecting "don't recommend this channel" on some of the more radical ones!
That means exactly the opposite for youtube. It will double-down on its "algo" smarts.
Source that cuz it's interesting, please.
"Report for misinformation -> don't recommend this channel" is my usual strategy, but they just keep going. I don't do that with the catholic ones, because they are not that bad, but I'm sure they are a window for the bad ones to enter.
