You can upload press releases to pornhub, that doesn't make it a news site. Stop getting your news from youtube; problem solved.

- axutio 5y agoThe question isn't whether I choose to get my news from YouTube or not, it's whether YouTube presents itself as a legitimate source for news consumption or not - and it certainly does. The idea is that some large subset of YouTube viewers will, as a result, assume that they're being exposed to a basket of news representative of the breadth of opinion present among media outlets, when they're actually not.
- Nexxius 5y agoYT as opposed to what, Comedy Central Daily Show that a generation seems to have gotten their news from? At least on YT you can (currently) pick & choose from politically varied points of view though many creators do seem to be jumping ship because of YTs draconian content policies.
- throwaway829 5y agoPerhaps you're just trolling but this is an obvious false equivalency. YouTube prominently displays news from MSM without you asking to see it. Certain controversially search terms can be flagged and then only show MSM videos. Neither of these things are true of pornhub.
