- pjc50 7y agoThe platform is not and cannot be neutral; they necessarily remove porn and copyright infringing material, plus whatever they are legally obliged to do in various countries. An endless series of judgement calls. Moreover, we're talking about the recommendation algorithm. The only neutral recommendation algorithm is a random number generator. Everything else is making a decision that video X is "better" than video Y for user Z. What it means to be "better" is difficult to analyse, but Google themselves must be constantly reviewing that question.
