watched the vid, then looked to see what recommended populated on the right

using FreeTube with Invidious and there's no youtube account associated with it

and after a few related videos on the recommended, which is just the pure algorithm, is just an endless stream of right wing shit. some related to gaming, then just chud news

I randomly decided to try creating a new Youtube account yesterday just to see if I'd get asked to cough up a phone number. I didn't which was interesting.

Anyway, the recommended videos were Asmongold's Trump inauguration coverage and some chud shit about woke whatever. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and now Tiktok are all so, so cooked

Several years ago I remember hearing from a comrade that youtube's upper management is full of ideological fascists, so that sort of thing never surprises me even though it's always horrifying

Thats basically any upper management anywhere will always be the worst humanity has to offer
