Yep. Gaming is a popular topic among kids and I’ve seen YouTube recommend and autoplay horrible, racist and misogynist content following some random game tips video.https://twitter.com/marsarchaic/status/973278408971927552?s=21 …

No. Just no. I appreciate the complexity and challenge of this transition but, just no to appropriating one of the strongest public institutions we have like this. https://twitter.com/lucas_shaw/status/973686764224249857 …

Matt McCollow 👨👩👧👦 👨💻 🏃♂️ 🏋️♂️ 🎮 @mmccollowI don’t see how this helps solve YouTube’s problem. Their main problem, as@zeynep wrote about, is that their algorithm leads users to radical/extremist content. This is barely even a half-measure. https://twitter.com/wired/status/973693969438773248 …5 replies 26 retweets 65 likesShow this thread -

To be clear, one of world’s richest companies, with billions of hoarded cash, has basically threatened to crush one of the few remaining wonders of the early web because they do not want to take responsibility while minting money.https://twitter.com/wikimedia/status/973995260056625153?s=21 …

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 …
