Sure, but improvement to the education system won't come into effect for decades, and in the short term, real people are dying from anti-vaxx and anti-mask misinformation. I know 2020 has been wild, but let's not forget the huge surge in Measle deaths, something that was mostly solved beforehand. Blocking certain content now literally saves people's lives.
- kube-system 6y agoFor sure, but I think it's important not to lose sight of the fact that YouTube is merely dealing with the symptoms of a much broader societal problem. We can't truly fix the issue until we address the root cause. Everything else is whack-a-mole.
- ehsankia 6y agoAgain, why not both? This is a short term solution, while we work in parallel in improving the education system. Youtube itself can be a great source of education if you promote scientific videos over trashy conspiracy videos.
