YouTube put a "The AP has called the Presidential race for Joe Biden." label on one of my videos — despite that it has nothing to do with the election — so I used inspect element to change it to read "The AP has called the Presidential race for Donald Trump." as a joke.

They're so desperate to make Biden seem legitimate that they're pelting random videos with "Biden won." I don't give a shit who wins — I voted third party — just get it out of my face. If I make a video about the election, sure, but this isn't that. I said Donald Trump once and they slap the label on it. Really?

What I did was edit how the webpage appears in my browser. You can use inspect element (right-click on it and then hit inspect) and change the HTML. I just changed "Joe Biden" to "Donald Trump." It doesn't actually change the text, so when I reload it'll go back to Biden. I just thought it was a nerdy joke.

Fuck the associated press.

If Google recommends them, they're probably severely biased towards the left and big business.

They can call it till they're blue in the face but it doesn't mean a thing. In fact, a sitting president doesn't have to concede at all. It's complicated but this one will be called by SCOTUS and then, if necessary, congress. AP my ass. Oh, I see what you did there. :)
