    Opinion: YouTube's algorithms will push whatever they deem engaging, and it appears they have figured out that wild claims, as well as hate speech and outrage peddling, can be particularly so.

        I hope some progressive donors & techies develop an NPO platform that bans hate speech, misogynists, bigots, porn, false info, spam, trolls, bots... & is hawkish about protecting privacy, so I can drop FB, twitter, youtube & all the other social media awash w/scum. I‘d pay $1/mo

        The auto-referral process via algorithms is pushing outrageous/inappropriate/questionable material. Immediately disengaging it could shut down the visible aspects of automation-for-clicks.

        Also a good reason to be skeptical of Google drive cars. You: Hey Google Car, take me to Tom's house. Google Car: Would you like to go to Target first? You: No. GC: You should really go to Target first. Maybe Tom is there?
