So to people taking issue with the word radicalizing. What I am talking about here is radicalization through misinformation, lies and hoaxes—not radicalization in the sense of challenging power or outside of mainstream in a grounded, radical manner. That's not the dynamic.

I shouldn't be shocked, but not even giving a heads up that a giant, wildly-profitable internet corporation is about to potentially send hoards to destroy your site in order to externalize its own problems should at least deserve a heads up.

It's the incentive structure and the business model interacting with what's technologically possible (which is expanded by the incentive structure and the business model). The rest of the story that Silicon Valley tells itself about itself is mostly fluff.https://twitter.com/mattdpearce/status/973988224312926208 …

I don’t know it will crush Wikipedia. But any Wikipedia article linked to highly viral controversial videos will get crushed, altered, vandalized, will have to be be locked. For less popular stuff it may help, for the rest it just passes the buck, and Wikipedia should get a cut.

They hide behind "magic" algorithms to evade responsibility. Same as Facebook, Twitter, etc. That way they don't have to make the hard decisions and continue to profit with no accountability.

I don’t read Wikimedia’s reply to be that they’re worried about being crushed? They confirm this is Wikipedia’s role and calmly rebut the quip that everyone can edit it. I love your YT coverage, but this doesn’t seem problematic unless YT thinks it’s an end-all solution
