Yep. Only on that channel. Totally suspect. I was complaining out loud about how the incident felt very communist with the knitting videos. 

And now we're seeing the inside of a garage all the time intercepting the video. No more Asian Knitters just the inside of somebody's dirty garage. Boy oh boy it's something else. Feels planted.

Also there's no ads or clickbait on mine. It just intercepts and interrupts what I'm watching.

  • "thwart any autodection of copyright violations.  Take a copyrighted video or stream, add some Asians crocheting, and you've got a new video that doesn't match the original."
  • Not in different specific spots. Where a copyright infringement could be "bleeped" out.
  • It is a newscast. Not a copyrighted video. On the newscast Channel. Every episode is interrupted at the same time, close to the end.

Me too. Glad I found this site and thankyou for responding, so I’m not paranoid it’s just me being targeted😉

Happens to me all the time, and it’s not something I searched for, it’s just what’s offered as next in line by you tube. Mostly happening in political news, and often from FOX network. Maybe they are paid to interfere…

I think it’s a paid interference. I’m in Canada, and we are not allowed to see world news on main channels, so you tube is usually blocked for me if I want most political news other than the fake media channels like MSNBC and the rest of the mainstream. They try to direct us so we can see all of the controlled channels in. canada.

Most likely they're listening into what we say and tapping into our phones for whatever they want to get
