It may not be political agenda but it has consequences. If left only sees left opinions and right only sees right opinions, how people are to agree on anything if they are never exposed to arguments from other side?
As bad as people are at being unbiased, this is only making things worse, on gigantic scale.
- eropple 8y agoYouTube is really quite happy to serve me "right opinions". They involve guys like the one who's a subject of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahuj1B0ow4U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahuj1B0ow4U That dude, literally that dude, showed up in my recommendations pretty regularly until I explicitly blocked him. Now I get fellow chuds like Sargon of Akkad and the like; I have to "nope" at least one fascist or at the minimum white-supremacist channel out of my recommendations a week.
- CNJ7654 8y agoHi, I know you're probably just being facetious, but I think it's important to be clear that most Right channels on Youtube aren't fascist or white-supremacist. Calling anyone with a right leaning viewpoint a fascist ultimately dilutes the meaning of the word until people are okay with it. We've already seen this happen with racist, where even normal people nowadays will joke that they're probably being 'racist' by it's modern overblown definition.
