I actually ran across a YouTube comment the other day that was claiming the bar that comes up below any covid related video was part of their attempts to suppress the truth. I know that poe's law says it might have been sarcasm, but somehow I don't think any of the actions the big tech companies have taken have really done all that much to stop these beliefs. It might be somewhat the opposite; the classic conspiracy theory meme is that the powers that be are suppressing the truth. It has been well publicised that these sites are cracking down on what these people believe to be the truth, which could easily be taken as evidence that they hold the correct view. I wish I had some sort of idea of how to prevent this, but as I see it these sorts of actions are possibly worse than doing nothing. The only positive thing I've noticed recently is that YouTube has somewhat mitigated the recommendation algorithm pushing ever-more extreme polarizing content.
