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.

For a similar reason that Adam Schiff represented his personal characterization of what happened as the actual call transcript when he opened his hearing. Framing the facts w/in a fabrication to influence opinion is done by almost all in politics. (cont)

IMHO, it’s far more concerning when elected officials do it in the course of their official duties than when random pundits do it.
