      YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.

      So it’s more likely to be bad than good.

        That depends on what you watch and subscribe. Watch angry, conflict-driven videos, and you’ll get those.

        I personally don’t get any of that shit in my feed.

          As I’ve said three times now, I barely use YouTube and then only direct links. This isn’t that. YouTube rewards civil bigots so civil bigots are common and have big audiences

        What have y’all been clicking on YT? I watch, frankly, an unhealthy amount of YT and I don’t get recommendations for hateful shit.

            Funny that people are trying to evangelise time wasting brainrot

            Also you must have so much useful time without the time wasting brainrot.

            goes back to watching people process clay for some insane reason
