- a_bonobo 8y agoI have Youtube Kids on my mobile phone, the recommendation engine only recommends child-friendly videos - Blippy, one of the millions of videos where people play with toy train sets, Wiggles, etc., it hasn't yet recommended a Neonazi video (however it doesn't care for language, often recommending Spanish or Russian kids videos). It's very useful for when I need my toddler to be quiet for 10 minutes or so.
- ralusek 8y agoI love YouTube's recommendation system. It's the only platform that can truly continue to deliver me a variety of things to suit my varied interests, and is the only mainstream platform online that I can reliably find liberal political positions represented. The entire rest of the primary internet hubs are basically just collectivizism: conservativism vs identitarian leftism. I love YouTube.
