Youtube made dramatic changes to the recommendation algorithm after a series of false stories claimed that Youtube was radicalizing people through a 'rabbit hole'

The story has now been debunked but the chaos it caused is still there

wired.com/story/not-yout…
The problem with rabbit hole theory is that it assume humans dont choose the content they watch, they just mindlessly click videos

A recommendation is one of dozens that a person must choose to watch or choose to ignore.
Rabbit hole theory implies that humans have no critical thought and believe everything they see or that they don't question anything recommended

The reality is that the quality of content and ideas is what drives growth
It should have been obvious to NYT when their 'alt right' subject claims to have watched the IDW and then moved on to progressive youtubers

Instead they inverted the conclusion to support a narrative

Trump is a bull that barged into the Ivory Tower and is rampaging around inside causing Elites to panic

It's weird that so many progressives run with the orange man bad narrative. Ya'll hate Establishment Democrats as much as Trump supporters, let him investigate corruption
Trump is finite, he's out after 2024

Establishment corruption is forever

I say let Trump investigate crony DNC corruption

We all know it exists, we all know they stole it from Bernie and colluded with media to do so
Bernie was leading a peasant revolt at the tower, the elites successfully kept him out

But down below other peasants were leading a bull to the door and they laughed at the crudeness of the people and their bull. Thinking "as if that could break our defenses"

Bernie has a fundamental misunderstanding about value, trade, and wealth

You can't end homelessness with money

Source: I was a fundraising director at a homeless shelter

Some people want to be homeless, some people are mentally ill

Money does not guarantee supply either
All the money in the world can not get you a direct sub orbital flight form LA to NYC.

Want to invest in a company to build it?

Ok 100M$ and 5 years later the company fails and you lose the money.

Money isn't magic
If you tax 100B to end homelessness you will eventually run out of money

You're also assuming the labor exists to do the jobs of running all those shelters

Money doesn't create professionals

If you only have 10 doctors in your area then not everyone can see a doctor

Buzzfeed wrote a racist fake headline claiming two black dudes fought to the death over a chicken sandwich

Family and friends deny it had anything to do with chicken

Meanwhile 4 people were shot to death in Chicago last weekend but this is what gets coverage
Coming from the southside of chicago it was a given that media would never talk about the problems we faced

I dont know what Buzzfeed was thinking when they wrote this

Why is this worthy of coverage? Why the fake headline???
The never came down to my neighborhood when someone died they never gave a shit.

I can only imagine what people in worse off communities felt

This was senseless violence for reasons unknown but I guess its funnier and gets more clicks

Is YouTube's algo still taking people down the rabbit hole?

Yes.

Right now, the algorithm is promoting to millions of teens this conspiracy that literally says:

"We ask you to suspend your disbelief and take a journey down the rabbit hole" (1:37)


1/5
It's on a channel called "After Skool", so clearly targeting kids/teens.

It was so massively recommended that it reached 1 million views in few days

2/5
One of the top comments is revealing:

"Hey YouTube? What's this doing in my recommendations? If I didn't have a basic understanding of science and the ability to recognize logical fallacies this could've sent me down the path to conspiracy paranoia"

3/5

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

This thread may seem a little late, but It took some time to research it properly. On 8-15 Q posted this. He wants us to be aware of what we are up against. Not long after he posted the pic of Gloria Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper. #QAnon
He followed with this post. #QAnon
3. One of the Anons found the matching charm and posted it. At that point everyone seemed to move on from the subject. But Q's next post told me there is more to this. It was in response to this Podests psinting posted by one of the Anons. #QAnon
