    I searched "should I get my child vaccinated?" on YouTube (signed out, in a privacy browser) and the "Up Next" suggestion algorithm queued up an anti-vaccination video after just one click. From there things didn't get better. Here's my "rabbit hole" path: pic.twitter.com/Q7QrZyzMqE

        Problem is YouTube is actually a really good resource. From best techniques for changing a tire in the snow to baking a cake. Also real medicine basics for Med students. So it’s problematic and misleading to novice users unable to discern the info.

        Love his suggestion for teachers. Should be part of the curriculum in middle/high school across the country.

        I'm perpetually blocking alt-right and gamergate channels and videos. I have never once intentionally clicked on a video aligned, however tangentially, with such views. YouTube is fanning flames in society for a short-term profit.

        The YouTube platform is based on an AI programmed to think "engagement" == "quality". That means that the entire service is now controlled by an AI who believes that the people who spend 16 hours a day commenting on YouTube videos are the smartest people on earth.

        You can't watch anything on YouTube without being pointed to conspiracy theory or pretty far leaning political channels almost immediately after. Wanna learn how a lock works? Here's a video! Now how about "Jordan Peterson DESTROYS FEMINIST", up next!
