How Do I Get Google to Stop Pushing Hindi Content on Me?

Technology Forum

I live in a building where there are a lot of Indians, so the IP addresses are all similar. Maybe Google thinks I live in a Hindi household because there are many in my building. Lately, it feels like Google has decided I must love Hindi content. Every fifth post I see on Reddit comes with some Hindi recommendation or ad. I don’t mind Hindi movies, but I don’t speak the language, so it’s just dead content for me.

Why It’s Driving Me Crazy:

  • Irrelevant Recommendations: My feeds and ads are flooded with Hindi stuff that I can’t engage with.
  • Language Barrier: Since I don’t understand Hindi, all this content is basically useless.
  • Frustrating Algorithms: I can’t figure out how to tell Google to stop tagging me as interested in Hindi content.

I’ve had this account for like 15 years, and it’s packed with important stuff. I really don’t want to lose access to everything tied to my Google account. If you’ve dealt with something similar or have tips on how to take back control of Google’s content recommendations, please share!

Just click ‘not interested’ on every single piece of Hindi content you come across. Ultimately, Google should get the hint.

In my experience, this never works. It’s more like snoozing the content. It always comes back in a few weeks.

I think it’s the ‘Region’ setting. You might want to change everything to local stuff.

I looked at it, and all settings seem to be set to local already.

I asked something similar and received a 7-day ban for being racist.
