    When conspiracy theories like the David Hogg "crisis actor" video start trending, most people think "This is bad information and should be removed," but YouTube's algorithm seems to think "Hey, lots of people seem to like conspiracy theories, so we should show them more"

        do we have any good info on how much of this is organic vs. a product of ongoing Russian disinfo campaign? I know America has a lot of conspiracy nuts but it seems like their numbers suddenly swelled a year or two ago

        I don't think we have any good information on the breakdown of organic vs. disinfo, in part because the platforms won't release the data that might help determine that and/or they themselves don't know

        This whole story is tied back to #DonaldTrumpJr liking a twitter post spreading fake news. His acct shld be suspended like others spreading these lies. #FakeNews

        interesting this problem manifests in a lot of algo-driven places like ecommerce recommendation engines: "You bought a vacuum, so let's show you more vacuums for sale!"

        The Facebook algorithm is strangely similar to Mark Zuckerberg’s character.

        Giving YouTube way too much credit to deal with it as a "conspiracy theory" 😅

        BUT!!! Is David Hogg a high school student or a crisis actor? Has this question been verifiably answered?

        How would you distribute the blame on this blatant misinformation here between the platform, the moderators and the viewing public?
