    No, youtube is a breeding ground for idiots when it comes to politics. Every comment and every dislike gives a video impressions so that the algorithm shows it to others. Youtube makes bank with hatret just as fox news does. You can bet that all the jzst stop oil clips will be shown to a audience that hates rhem more than people who feel indifferent about them or agree with them. Why? Because they dont comment on the videos.

    These people hate what they see but still watch it and then comment on it so youtube shows them more off it.

      You can see the same kind of comments on no-algorithm video streaming sites too. You are a very tiny but loud minority in this.
