    If anything, Google helps the right with their YouTube algorithm that has to be one of the fastest to right-wing radicalization available. You can open up a recipe video on YouTube and a couple of videos later they’ll have you on liberals are making the frogs gay style content.

      What if i told you that any group, organization or business that places profits and advertising revenue above objective truth and a quality product is, by default, always going to be right-wing aligned?

      It is pretty stupid. My YouTube searches are DIY home repair, how to play guitar, and fountain pen calligraphy ink/font.

        It’s the DIY stuff. You’re like a hairsbreadth away from homesteading, survivalist stuff, then prepper stuff, aaaand finally nutjob stuff.

          It’s like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. " how many categorical degrees of separation are your YouTube channels from wacko right wing nut job shit?"

      Yes but if he threatens them enough maybe they’ll fix their algorithm so it isn’t serving right wing garbage on a silver platter. I can dream.

      I doubt they care. They just give you the most outrageous shit they can, since it makes most people interract with it.
