    YouTube is crucial part of the misinformation ecology. Not just a demand issue: its recommender algo is a "go down the rabbit hole" machine.pic.twitter.com/52CelE5mxr

        You watch a Trump rally: you get suggested white supremacist videos, sometimes, auto-playing. Like a gateway drug theory of engagement.

        I've seen this work across the political spectrum. YouTube algo has discovered out-flanking and "red-pilling" is.. engaging. So it does.

        my teens are using YouTube as primary entertainment source, typically watching w/headphones. Harder to monitor than tv in fam rm

        My parents are using YT as primary entertainment/news, and I've found myself using vocabulary like the parents of a teen. ++

        But it's also part of "good information" ecology. That's what makes the algo issue so pernicious
