My youtube algorthim is filled with AI-skeptics (Eli the Computer guy, Ed Zitron, Prof G Markets) so this has been the slowest car crash I've ever gotten to watch happen. If Donald had actually focused on inflation all of these debt-sensitive AI plays could've continued to whistle through the graveyard. The skeptics have called out coreweave as being potentially the first domino to topple and their 6 year debt is trading at 15% right now. Thanks to plummeting token costs, they need to double their token sales every 90 days.
Why are you deliberately living in a bubble that shows you what you want to hear? Like I have a cousin convinced for years that either the US or China is >6 months from total economic collapse, because that's their algo is showing them reinforcing narratives they want to hear.
Using youtube logged out gives you the general algorithm filled with crap I would never consider watching, at least mine's curated. It gave me a little too much hope in Kamala but it's not like I fought any less hard for her. I aggressively cull my feed and it's pretty much just the creators I subscribe to. If I want "discovery" I filter reddit by youtu.be or youtube.com.
I like browsing anonymously, navigating directly to channels I enjoy because I get the general crap that can be easilly ignored at a glance, rather than potentially fringe products of an echo chamber slowly and sneakily creeping into my feed without my realization. I'm paranoid of the slow boil, you know? Different strokes.
AI bubble is light speed car crash compared to the climate crisis.
Stop using YouTube. The algorithm is not good for your mental health, nor to learn anything of substance.
You can learn more about this on youtube
The algorithm is dog ass. YouTube is still full of plenty smart people with something to say, though. It’s a video sharing platform; that doesn’t inherently mean every content creator who uses it is also dog ass.
I don't use the algorithm
I would love it if people just did the bare basics and posted to multiple sites but they refuse to.
I mean, maybe they do with shorts + Tiktok or some of that shit
I wish the same things, but, post to YT -500k views-paycheck. Post to Obscure Streaming Service- Only fans see it/care.
I love Nebula, but I always make sure my favorite creators get clicks on both platforms, because I'm unsure of the pay model.
Please correct my ignorance.
Ok but it takes so little effort to post to multiples
I watch more perfect union and the good liars. They're not good at pointing out major issues? They bring receipts.
I have never heard of these channels. But if they are on YouTube to generate money, then they must grow views, and thus they're subject to the algorithm. And thus you are getting your information filtered through the algorithms preferences.
It's not censorship, but it's a constant force that pushes content creators into one direction, and if you're somewhat informed I don't need to line out what direction that is. It's just another algorithm based anti social media.
As long as it's not showing me pro trump shit, I'm good.
Quite a low standard you have there, and it shows that you are not prepared to defend your mind against the algorithm.
The alt right influencer network has a huge gray zone, and the algorithm presents you those influencers that match your current level of world view. And there they sow doubt, little "insights" at a time, constantly dragging your perception into one direction.
Trumps time is mostly over, the main alt right influencers already prepare for the time after.
You couldn't read between the lines that I don't give a shit? I watch what I like and block what I don't. Chill Winston. If it recommends me bullshit I block it, especially Trump bullshit.
Ignore pretty much anything farming related from More Perfect Union - they tend to provide farm lobby propaganda without actually fact checking it. I've become much more sceptical of their other coverage based on how bad that segment of it seems to be.
Do you have insight on farming issues to provide an example? Whenever we near election dates in the US we know farm lobbies always push for bailouts that usually end up benefiting corporations instead of farmers. I’m sure there are issues that exist but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s a money grab. I thought MPU was doing a good job but 🤷🏻♀️
The farming corporations are mostly family farms. The average small farmer is a millionaire with a six figure income. I recommend looking at the youtube channels "Farm to Taber" and "Farming While Beige". I haven't found where the former talked about the More Perfect Union videos yet, but the latter posted the following:

It's true, disable YouTube feed and only look at subscription.
You can do it at https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity
i dont log in to youtube, but if i see a pattern i just refresh it by closing the browser.
Wow. I didn't know you could do this. Ty
I have to second that, yeah, YouTube's Algo is insidious and drives my binge-watching, but I've been able to curate a subscription list of solid content creators.
Each one of the content creators ais subject to the same forces that the algorithm creates. No matter where you start, the content plus the algorithm slowly pushes you as well as the content creators into one direction. It may be a weak force, but it's always there. content creators who want to grow their views do not have the liberty to evade it.
The direction is always towards divisive positions and decreasingly evidence based arguments, generally anti institutional, anti science, anti journalistic media.
YouTube as a feed is poison for a healthy mindset.
