They're slaves to the algorithm. The algorithm favors the obnoxious.
Says a lot about where our society is going.
I know someone is going to make it sound easier than what it really is, but having to sift through the site, fighting against the algorithm's sorting to find something you like is hard.
I hate how it somehow decided I was interested in Brexiters' woes and keep pushing an insane amount of videos about it in my feed, and the more I tell it I'm not interested, the more they pop up. it legitimately makes me reconsider my YouTube premium membership.
This has been me since... sometime in 2019, I believe. At some point around then, there was a very noticeable change in the videos being suggested to me. I noticed it almost immediately.
go tell the dude doing the sitting and smiling stream about the algorithm.
not every creator cares unconditionally about it
