- smt88 4y agoNo one is claiming that crime or stupidity were invented by social media. But they do help people monetize those things. If YouTube pays people for views without human review, they're funding videos like this. Nothing as powerful as YouTube should be moderated mostly by algorithms.
- josephcsible 4y agoIf you're fighting a lion in an arena, it's very unlikely that anyone other than yourself gets hurt.
- jamiek88 4y agoWell, except for the lion.
- wonderbore 4y agoKind of a strawman: 1. Not true, it's not like safety standards were a thing back then. Even in today’s circuses safety isn't a guarantee. 2. It was just one example. Encierros (street bull runs) are still a thing. Plenty dangerous and lots of people involved, even without retribution.
