Wtf is that #titlegore
A small act of appreciation for not being broken up, after being proven of being a monopoly.
Justice so sweet, it’ll make you diabetic.
and there is already so much covid denial, and propaganda(anti-woke) commentors infesting videos of shows/movies as it is. its going to turn into video platform of Xitter.
plus the large amount of right wing shill, channel owners too.
as in the annoying comments against inclusivity in videos like trek, dr who, sg1.
Leave Google.
The true mild infuriation is journalists who speak in sentence fragments, have never heard of the ampersand
Just what the internet needed, even more lies and fascists propagandists. yay…
Oh goody. I was worried there was not enough toxicity on YouTube currently.
Not enough misinformation either!
Hmmmm, I wonder why YouTube is letting COVID and election deniers back on.
simple they need the revenue, itss a sure sign after they lifted the election denial violations like 2-3 years ago from youtube
They are swinging with the political wind and falling behind the administration to get favourable legislation and preferential treatment.
If a heap of people die in the process due to misinformation - they don’t care.
Don’t, be evil.
they been doing that since mid pandemic, the moment they announce they wernt blocking election denial was a red flag, plus also the massive jump in right wing propaganda after they lifted that sanction was pretty obvious.

Gotta make sure that the corpos keep making money.
I guess it might be about time to finally cancel my YouTube premium over this. I already was a bit on the fence after they bumped up the price, this might be the final straw. There’s already plenty of misinformation on the platform as is, no need to let even more proven spreaders on there.
alot of influencers turn out to be right wing shills in the end anyways. minus the pet, animal/science related ones.
Do you know about revanced? It also has cool features, like disabling autodubbing: https://github.com/NoName-exe/revanced-extended
I fucking love revanced
Fucking Nazis
YouTube’s leadership is complicit. Fuck them and their blood soaked hands.
Once again discovering innovative ways to make the platform even less appealing. What will they think of next? Selling the brand to Sinclair media?
Then, is it cool to publish direct lies about red state elections? How about recommending rat poison for measles?
If they appear on my homepage, i’ll make sure to hit “don’t recommend.”
i dont login , so they cant datamine, and also im adblocking them at the same time. youtube cant go full-anti-adblock, so they are allowing degenerates and degenerate form of revenues to return.
I swear that feature doesn’t work. I’ve told it to stop recommending TheQuartering to me so many times and he always pops back up.
The better option is to simply stop using YouTube.
Yeah, keep contributing to their algorithm, that’ll really show them! “Stop using YouTube” is the only way to do anything about it, and people won’t
I get it. But that’s easier said than done when all my favourite channel are there. All I can do for now is keep them off my homepage by making them unfavourable to the algorithm.
If everyone stopped using it they’d be forced to act, unfortunately too many people think exactly the same way, “but the stuff I like is there too!”
Yeah. It’s a chicken or the egg situation. I hate it, too.
At this point, the ethical thing to do is to reupload videos you like to Peertube. Sure it screws the creators, but that’s what they get for continuing to post on a fascist platform.
I get the sentiment. How should creators monetise on PeerTube, though? There are no ads, onboarding is a hassle, PeerTube itself pays nothing for content. Also, running a PeerTube instance is likely going to get expensive fast.
How should creators monetise on PeerTube?
Patreon and merchant and whatnot, same as they do on YouTube already. It’s not as if the pittance Google pays is the majority of their income.
(Also, my comment was about random users uploading videos without the creators’ consent, so that’s really a different discussion.)

It’s built on bittorrent, you know. The more popular a video gets, the less you have to serve it yourself.
This is not a bad thing actually. “Deplatforming” idiots clearly did not stop their ideas from spreading so might as well allow people to say whatever inane shit they want instead of getting them riled up for “censorship”.
I know it’s not real censorship but technicalities hardly matters. What matters is how people feel.
Ah, the “freedom of speech” dogwhistle for racism, bigotry and misinformation strikes again.
But once someone on the other side does it to “you”, then all bets are off and people like you lose their mind.
Well I feel like these fucknuts shouldn’t have a platform.
Yeah, it wasn’t a perfect solution so let’s just give misinformation a microphone and a spot on the 6 o’clock news!
People will believe whatever they want to believe, you cannot suppress whatever you believe is misinformation. There are lots of things for which there is no apodictic certainty that gets passed of as fact and no one questions it or calls it misinformation.
Also it’s not that it wasn’t a perfect solution. It’s that it is not a solution at all. It actively made things worse in fact.
People in the streets say crazier shit every day, are you also gonna stop them from saying it? Fuck that man, the audience is the one that needs to learn to be discerning.
Fuck outta here with this fuckhead logic.
Pre-Musk Twitter and current X is a good example of what happens when a platform completely drops its policies on misinformation. It is an order of magnitude worse now than it ever was before, and much more harmful to society.
If we’re worried about far-right idiots crying censorship, then we might as well fold to all their other demands and then the lunatics will truly be running the asylum.
Explain how it made things worse. That’s nonsense.
We need to be the ones willing to teach them.
I don’t know that I believe in that sort of paternalistic attitude what I do know is that Google et al have no business dictating what is or isn’t misinformation. It’s a double edged blade.
Breathing bleach, very bright light in veins, horse worm paste to fight covid.
what I do know is that Google et al have no business dictating what is or isn’t misinformation
Oh fuck right off.
This isn’t a grey area “Oh Mike’s car sounds louder so it’s faster” information. There are objectively factual truths at play and these flat earth worm paste eating fuckwits want to play Don’t Look Up in real life.
