The YouTube suggestion algorithm is also amazing. As a hobbyist I find so much cool stuff completely unrelated to politics. I hope they can fix the bad without ruining the good, is what I'm saying.
- runarberg 6y agoAgree. YouTube has some great content on it. Channels that I regularly follow include Technology Connections[1] (despite not being that much into electronics), Summoning Salt[2] (despite not playing video games), PBS Eons[3]. There is also some good political content there (including Lindsey Ellis[4] and vlogbrothers[5]). Despite this YouTube really needs to wake up to the fact that some of it’s content is really toxic and potentially dangerous, and that it potentially suggests this toxic content to an unsuspecting audience. Optimally it wouldn’t do that, while still suggesting some of the great content there. 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUbO6rBht0daVIOGML3c8w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUbO6rBht0daVIOGML3c8w 2: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy0tKL1T7wFoYcxCe0xjN6Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy0tKL1T7wFoYcxCe0xjN6Q 3: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzR-rom72PHN9Zg7RML9EbA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzR-rom72PHN9Zg7RML9EbA 4: https://www.youtube.com/user/chezapoctube https://www.youtube.com/user/chezapoctube 5: https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers
