And no doubt this ‘content’ is being steered by the algorithm into to faces of sedition-curious Albertans 24/7.

YouTube is just as much of a toxic shitpump as Twitter/X and FaceBook, yet it seems to largely get a pass because it’s so deeply embedded into people’s online lives—and the billionaire oligarchs behind it keep a fairly low profile, unlike Musk and Zuck.

YouTube has done just as much (if not more) to destabilize democracy and radicalize folx as any of them!

Building "communities" where ignorance and prejudice is accepted and valued and criticism and honesty is quickly dismissed and denied.

Identifying who can speak the outrageous and most ignorant without being questioned.

Vilifying the cautious, the respectful, the expert.

Making all this appear normal and good ...

Russia used this exact same playbook to try to divide the population in Ukraine for years before they invaded.
