    The headline here is a lot more ambitious than the more modest step announced by YouTube, but let’s see where the reality of it actually lands. The direction is correct, the problem is massive.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1094682795673337857 …

        Part of me would love to run an experiment, because my YouTube recommendations are all based on my viewing history (hello, the dodo). But the last thing I want is a bunch of crap showing up in my feed.

        The obvious problem is that the decision of what's "bad" is to be decided by something other than individuals that consider ourselves mature enough to decide for ourselves. At the same time I think it's every business's right to remove content it deems unwelcome.

        They're not removing any content, just not recommending such videos through their algorithm that's designed to keep your eyeballs on the site.

        Less views for conspiracy vids = more views for legit vids from struggling creators?

        But isn't the problem rooted in YouTubes business model - meaning that they would need to change their entire business model to fix it. Or what?
