More importantly irrevelant, since the criticism isn't that imperfect right wing videos are presented instead of perfect left wing ones. > I haven't had my feed dominated by one side. So? It's perfectly possible for you to be in a different testing bucket. Don't assume what you see is what everybody sees, and that they are just interpreting it differently than you do. I might as well say "nah, you only think you see videos from multiple ideologies".

> "Why you should love fossil fuels" I did see a video from them showing the wide range of products that use fossil fuel as components. Was that the one you're referencing? I felt that video is a fair point to make, since many conveniences of modern life outside of the obvious (i.e. transportation) depend on fossil fuels. Most consumers will not want to give up those conveniences, and their demand for those products shapes our overall consumption of fossil fuels. That video was high-quality and respectful. As for the other video you are mentioning, I haven't seen it, but it seems like a single example picked to paint a narrative. But I don't really want to argue about individual examples, and don't think that's a productive line of discussion. My larger point is that PragerU is not "extreme right wing" content - that's hyperbolic. If they are "extreme right wing", what word will you use for actual right-wing extremists (i.e. those calling for violence)? It feels like anything right of center-left is being compressed into one label of "extreme right wing". > So? It's perfectly possible for you to be in a different testing bucket. Don't assume what you see is what everybody sees, and that they are just interpreting it differently than you do. I might as well say "nah, you only think you see videos from multiple ideologies". OK, if everything is anecdotal, then we should put no stock in those from the left continually complaining about YouTube's recommendation algorithms. After all, no one has standing to do so per your logic.

  I was referencing the video I linked. > My larger point is that PragerU is not "extreme right wing" content - that's hyperbolic. If you replaced it with "very conservative" or something in the original comment, the whole point would still stand. > we should put no stock in those from the left continually complaining "The left" isn't doing anything, a specific individual commented.
