You literally filtered out video results for this, if you’re going to lie at least do it well

My own search in
@YouTube app is same. Videos about@scrowder and@TheLaurenChen top the results, while videos by the Young Turks dominate that search. The algorithm is obviously not treating them the same.pic.twitter.com/K1f2gSPHDp

Young Turks has almost 4x as many video views as Lauren Chen. That's probably the reason the algorithm is showing it so high- because it's more popular.

Could be. Now do Crowder, who’s subs is comparable to TYT, but the first video returned by the search is on a channel named“Earthling Ed.”

That one I can't explain. Are you logged in? Maybe the algorithm has decided Earthling Ed is similar to something else you watch.

I’ve watched Crowder, but never heard of Ed. One or two might be explained, but the whole first page of TYT (who I never watch) is their videos and Crowder and Chen are completely absent. Did a non-political search, and the top results were all from the guy I searched.pic.twitter.com/XfkxJJmoMN

Sorta glossed over the fact Steven was filtering out the results he said were censored. Not upset about the lie at all?

I didn’t address it at all. Crowder said YT was manipulating search results, so I did a few independent tests and got results that seemed to corroborate. I am far more concerned about possible selective favoring by YT based on political ideology than one person’s hyperbole.

Yeah I noticed you didn’t address it at all. At least you’re upfront about not caring about it

For me it’s a question of the greater threat. Crowder possibly overstating something is far less serious than the potential misuse of YT’s influence powers, do that’s the claim I tested. I think he raiseda legit concern that is being to offhandedly dismissed by some. (cont)

Why do you think that he used filtered results if the point could have just as easily been made without filtering the results? That doesn’t make you question his integrity in any way?

Did the fact that I performed independent trials before opining on his claims escape you? Most political pundits overstate or misrepresent to bolster their claims, happens across the spectrum. I extend blind trust to almost no one, even those w/ whom I generally agree. (cont)

It did not. I’m asking why you personally believe that he misrepresented the problem.
