Google suicide prevention hotline

[Grogan]

Look at what these sick fucks are doing now. Tracking the videos people watch and if they watch a lot of death videos, it puts up a suicide prevention hotline banner notification.

It's greyed out a bit because I have the "send feedback" pane up typing my complaint, but you can see it below the Sopranos video I was watching. Bloody creeps. I can't get it off my screen either, there is no way to dismiss it.

They've done the same thing for certain searches I've had to do for work to get a better understanding for accuracy. They do it for mental conditions as well as alcohol and drug use searches. It does feel very offensive, other search engines don't do that.

I didn't search for anything though, these are videos that youtube is presenting to me, in my main feed no less (not sidebar). Because they are what I like, of course. I love (re)watching the good parts of shows and movies.

There should be a Ublock Origin filter for these kinds of youtube notifications.

That is especially bad when it's something they presented to you. Kind of like entrapment.

Yes, what bothers me the most about this is that they have profiled me and their algorithms have decided that I'm disturbed. This didn't come from watching one video, I watch movie headshot compilations, death scenes from shows etc. pretty much every night (that they keep putting in my feed).
