YouTube automatically subscribes ppl?

I look up a lot of gameplay videos on YouTube and invariably I get Pewdiepie suggestions on my main feed. I click the option window showing I'm not interested every time. However, when I did it today, it says "not interested" and "unsubscribe". I never subscribed to Pewdiepie in the first place and the option is not under any of my other suggestions to watch. I wonder if he'd be the "most subscribed user" if he wasn't sponsored by the site.

@ZombieVirolina: probably not, I don't see what makes him better than others who do the same thing.

I'm not sure about that, but I notice lots of Youtube funkiness , faked views, faked subscribers, etc.

@thehig1: His first year, he did have his moments with Amnesia, Nosferatu, and Ao Oni, but a lot of people out there do his schtick better than he does. And automatically subscribing me to his channel isn't going to make me change my mind all of a sudden.

I watched a minute of Pewdiepie and I was like "Nope" and never watched him again.

the only thing i ever watched from him was his last playthrough of the ending of The Last of Us, only because i was watching a bunch of youtube people reactions to the game's ending.

I never understood why people like watching what appears to be a homosexual feeble guy making dumb girly comments while he plays.

On topic, I've noticed that before, Youtube shoving shit on my feed and constantly putting up things i've already said to never show again.

I wouldn't be surprised. Google has gone batshit crazy in recent years and it seems to me that the acquisition of YouTube, the spread of Android and the coming into being of shitty Google+ were the conduit of it. I went from being a Google fanboy to not standing the sight of it. Gmail and Google remain great though I'll give the tech-monkeys at Google that much. Hopefully they won't screw either up. You'd have to be a real imbecile to screw up a successful search engine anyway.

Funny thing is, they resort to such sketchy conduct to increase the widespread of their products and generate traffic and attract users. Ever since YouTube started to require a Google+ account to use the vast majority of the functionalities available there, I stopped using it as much as I used to. Not because I actively set out to achieve that; its just that I don't have a Google+ and I don't want one. As a result, using YouTube started to become a hassle and a real pain in the ass and I can't make use of the features available there. Google should have swallowed its pride and abandoned Google+ when it proved itself to be a flop instead of sustaining it by shoving it down YouTube users' throats.

Back to topic, yes TC that happens to me too. I would often get suggestions of channels I supposedly follow even though I never hit that subscribe button. They never seem to end too.

dunno...youtube is banned here.

Haven't had that happen to me yet.

@Nengo_Flow: Youtube shoving shit on my feed and constantly putting up things i've already said to never show again.

And with that...his garbage has started to show up on my feed YET AGAIN.

Why the hell was this bumped? Youtube does not auto-subscribe. You are probably seeing the "What to Watch" tab on the home screen - recommendations based on other channels you watch. Try switching it to "My Subscriptions" and move. Da. ****. On.

@SaintLeonidas:

Bumped because I didn't want to start an identical topic? Yeah...andgrowup

Are you a Google employee? Because I never subscribed to him, but when I right clicked on the boxes to say "not interested", I got an extra option saying "unsubscribe".

I'm sure next you're going to tell me that Google doesn't try to make you use your real name online.

Did you try using a VPN? That's how I watched YouTube in Afghanistan right after that Innocence of Muslims video came out.

never happened to me but youtube has been acting funny the last 2 days for me.
