I made sure to remove cookies and not sign in so I think these are the base suggestions made by youtube.
The YouTube algorithm is biased towards content that encourages further engagement, anger causes that, and right wing propaganda is designed to make people angry
Because the algorithm caters to nazis.
Not that the algorithms caters to nazis, but because they would have flagged Republicans as hate speech. As a resultn algorithms designed to combat hate speech, racism, white supremacy, and neo-nazism were atered down.
This is the reason why all corporate media has become the dumpster fire it is (not just social media). They use negative emotion like fear and anger to promote engagement. So all you get as a viewer is stuff that gets you fired up. The quality of journalism is so low now they’re fabricating stuff to engage the viewer. Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
“Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.”
Literally Fox News Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit…
“We’re not news we’re Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true.” So they don’t need to have any integrity whatsoever…
Because these machine learning algorithms only put out what they learn so that they can target the right videos to people. In this case, I think people were searching Youtube for these kinds of videos, so Youtube’s algorithm suggested them.
Nah they want you to be shocked and start watching. Called engagement, makes money by upsetting peoples emotional state so they become nervous, unhappy, angry etc.
Well that sucks if that is the case. People shouldn’t be focusing their anger at protesters it should be at the companies and CEOs.
There is a lot of money spent on making the media portray people as dangerous or crazy when they are protesting. And the media shapes the idiots opinions.
France is a role model in protesting for the entire world. Of course the American media often ridicules France. I wonder why.
Hell yes, @BettyWhiteInHD now that’s the aggressive attitude we need to direct at the CEOs.
I don’t know that a lot of Americans feel that way. It may seem that way because assholes are generally the most vocal of a group. I certainly don’t want protestors to be owned. Protesting is free speech and should be treated as such. Freedom can be inconvenient to some people.
Tried it myself with hardened Firefox, can confirm that’s the case. It’s even worse, my first search is “getting run over”…
Probably says more about the type of ppl frequenting YouTube than YT doing some shady stuff. Which honestly sounds more dystopian to me
P.S. Just realized youtube.com blocks Tor Browser, not cool Ytb.
