It's the definition of an echo chamber, isn't it ?
- krapp 3y agoIf it is, an echo chamber isn't always a bad thing.
- kortilla 3y agoNo, because in the youtube case it doesn’t actually suppress it. It was an extra bit of information that you could use to determine if a video was likely misleading.
- pessimizer 3y agoYouTube is, at all times, pro-echo chamber. So this is not their motive.
