page 21.
It was definitely eye opening to see the quantitative graphs showing how much Russian funded RT media's youtube views stacked up vs the major new media. RT's subscriber base was similar and it's social media footprint was much smaller but it's views were so much higher.
Were they gaming Youtube?
Did the major news media decide not to engage and invest in their youtube content?
Red Herring?
- ajfabb 10y agoGood time to go and flag/report the RT YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/RussiaToday/about https://www.youtube.com/user/RussiaToday/about It is easy to choose some videos that are clear propaganda when going through the flagging process.
- vanattab 10y agoDoes "political propaganda" videos violate YouTube's policy?
- 1337biz 10y agoQuick, let's shut down CSPAN!
- wavefunction 10y ago@1337biz CSPAN is mostly the equivalent of public records. RT is not a valid comparison to CSPAN.
- jcriddle4 10y agoYes it definitely should be, as a matter of fact I think anything you post is propaganda and should be deleted. /s

- abalone 10y agoYou'll have to define what "clear propaganda" means first.
- someuser001 10y agoThere's quite a few Russian accounts on Youtube with suspicious views counts. Like the guy who cuts things in half with his glowing knife. Lots of Russian spam and click-bait content too. Type in something about Ukraine, Russia or NATO and scroll through all the Russian 'WW3 Illuminati' garbage that comes up.
- jwtadvice2 10y agoAhh man that's hardly anything. Typical propaganda expenditure in the US is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
