My original comment was perfectly clear in identifying the problem with YouTube's recommendation algorithm, as I see it: in optimizing for time spent on site, it also as a side effect optimizes for recommending the most extreme content on YouTube. The fact that you felt the need to jump in the way you did suggests that you A) didn't actually read the comment, and B) were responding with a knee-jerk sound bite based on a ton of assumptions about me and my political inclinations. So like I said, what do I get out of engaging with you? So far, the answer is nothing worthwhile.
