Ok so as an experiment, I clicked on the first reputable video there, the NBC News video. I skipped ahead. This piece on the White Student Union was the 4th video to come up. 2 videos later? Transphobic trash about there being only 2 genders.pic.twitter.com/HHuLKZgavs
How do you get to the point of shipping tech that does this???
If YouTube won't change its algorithm, we must mobilize to punish the algorithm for every bad recommendation it makes. Hit it with "remove this from my recommendations" and "I am not interested"
This is like using a gardenhose to hold back a lava flow
Hmm, sadly true. How the hell are these people so well organized to create this toxic lava stream? Why is a garden hose the best we can do?
