Some examples I've noticed personally: * Clips of Bill Burr on Conan O'Brien > Men's Rights / anti-feminism videos * Animal videos > Creepy channel where someone makes various mousetraps and sees how many kills they get a night * Videogame longform critiques > Pro-Gamergate / Men's rights * Movie analysis video essays > Video essays on how SJW's are ruining Star Wars / Marvel * General psychology / self-help > Clip from a ho-hum Jordan Peterson psychology lecture > "Oh, you watched one thing featuring Jordan Peterson, you must agree with his more extreme views. Have some videos about that."

Its quite sad that people consider videos about "Men's rights" a radical view.

  We wouldn't want gender equality to be too equal wouldn't we.

  "Men's rights" is often a code-word for "radical misogyny".

    This sentiment is exactly why communities focusing men's rights end up revolving around "radical misogyny". You start discussing something like paternal rights or men's mental health. Because it is about "men's rights", people denigrate it as about "misogyny". Those who actually care about equality, distance themselves from the group, misogynists move in, and the group is either destroyed or becomes a hive or "radical misogyny". A self-fulfilling prophecy.

  MRA is a few good points wrapped in a seven layer dip of paranoia, sexual entitlement, harassment, and misogyny. It's 'not radical' in the same way that hang-all-the-bourgies anarcho-communism is not radical - that is, not at all.

  Most people's radical view is simply a view different from their own.

I've been noticing a similar phenomena. No matter what news clip I click on, my recommended videos will always be filled with right wing videos. So if I click on a clip of fox news I will get recommended some clips from say Ben Shapiro (expected). But if I click on a clip from msnbc, cnn, the young turks, or even Democracy Now my recommendations are still filled up with right wing content (undesirable). And unlike the left wing videos that might be recommended to me on a left wing video, the right wing videos will follow me around the site no matter what content I watch. I wonder if an over reliance on neural networks is what has been causing them so many problems recently.

> General psychology / self-help > Clip from a ho-hum Jordan Peterson psychology lecture > "Oh, you watched one thing featuring Jordan Peterson, you must agree with his more extreme views. Have some videos about that." I find Jordan Peterson's views quite anodyne. I suspect your opinion that he has "extreme views" is based on hearsay and not on anything you actually heard him say or write. Of course, I could be proven wrong by a link to some actual extreme statements he's made.

    > Most of the things he says are extreme right wing stances on issues By what means did you come to that conclusion? Is there some data that breaks down a list of his views and the weight on the left/right spectrum? Are his extreme views his own construction, distortions of research, cherry picked data, or real data that is simply not agreed upon.

    >Most of the things he says are extreme right wing stances Again, I don't believe you've actually heard or read any extreme things he's said. I think you're just following the herd. (Or the "heard"). It's like with James Damore. Many people claim he said things in his memo, like for example, that woman are genetically unsuited for software development, that he absolutely did not say, nor could any reasonable intelligent person infer it from what he wrote. Yet many people here on HN, whom I would presume are of above average intelligence, continue to make that claim. I don't believe that you have ever read or written a documented quote of Jordan Peterson that a reasonable person would consider extreme. You can prove me wrong, however, with a simple link. The GP did not provide any substantiation for his claim when I challenged him to, nor do I suspect will you. How about it, faizshah?
