Anyone else ever noticed how there is no longer an option to permanently reject or completely disable an option anymore?

Every 3 weeks I get a popup in MS teams (yeah I know, but it’s for work, nothing I can do about it), that asks me if I want to pin the AI agent tab and the only option is yes please or remind me later. What the actual fuck is this shit?

    Right, and it has nothing to do with right-wing media groups paying Youtube to disproportionately promote their content, no matter what

      This isn’t at all what I implied. I really don’t understand the hostility here.

      It shouldn’t be controversial to say that Google is trying to suggest videos to you it thinks you’ll watch. Their whole goal is to keep you watching as long as possible.

      My theory is that if YouTube profiles people as likely 18-45 yr old male, then they shove right wing propaganda down your throat even if you don’t align with it in any other way based on subscriptions/search history/etc.

        I’m 48 and have never seen that right wing bullshit. Guess I just never tripped across whatever criteria is it beyond just age.
