Weird - YouTube randomly subscribing me to unwanted channels

[tRidiot]

Is this a feature or a bug???

I'm just wondering, because the latest one is some channel in Arabic. I've had a number of similar instances.

Anyone else notice random "subscriptions" showing up in their YouTube feed?

Annoys me... like I'm not already on enough .gov watch lists, now Google is throwing me under the bus with random Jihadi YouTube subscriptions or something?

Anyone read and/or speak Arabic here who can tell me what this channel is about (AVA-TAKLA), so I can know how quickly to expect the MiB to show up at the door?

<edit> Bwahaha! Just noticed it says I joined this channel on Sept 9, 2007. lol. Funny, it wasn't on my feed last week!

I haven’t noticed that yet but Facebook is suggesting I quit watching conservative videos for 30 days. Let’s see if I can attach a screenshot.

Youtube has stopped pretending they're not a liberal propaganda outlet. Bookface has always been an openly liberal propaganda outlet. I don't use either one anymore.

I've never gotten a request to subscribe, or been asked to stop watching anything, but I'm not overly active on there. I do know I've removed at least a half-dozen unwanted subscriptions in the last few months. I sent a feedback ticket, doubt I hear anything out of it. Not like they care.

Log yourself out of all devices through Google and change your password.

Youtube is owned by google, who have been proven to grant unabated access by CIA/NSA/FBI and has sold almost every bit of data in their cloud. It sounds like some one has hacked you accounts or Youtube has decided to start its culling of users/endgame.

I’ve had the same problem with certain threads here on OSA, turns out when I’m scrolling sometimes I’ll accidently “follow” Them

I understand that... but this isn't something I should ever be clicking on, because it's a channel I've never seen. It's all in Arabic, I can't even understand the titles of the videos. Never in a million years would have even clicked on it, or been roundabout referred to it.

I noticed this weekend that I was subscribed to a couple of music channels that I had never heard of.
