>if YouTube silently starts recommending PragerU videos to all the millions of high schoolers that match the "impressionable" profile? As someone who very rarely aligns with any of Dennis Prager's political dogma, that would be so much better than the "Top 10 Reasons The Earth Might Actually Be Flat" type that dominates reccomendations now, albiet less profitable. We should of course expect YouTube to behave in a way that prioratizes the benefits to them financialy, etc. Like you said there's no easy answers anywhere. Understanding that all of YouTube's reccomendations are effectivey silent, programitic , and optimized for profits that get calculated on industry stardard, necessarily shallow engagement metrics like clicks and views is a helpful start but seemingly uncommon knowledge.
