- mlrtime 1y agoIs that all you think this is about, being racist and sexist? I agree with OP, this video shows how easy it can be a sucker. There are two parts to it, one is being the sucker, the other is the specific content and time. OP is pointing out that the sucker is in every echo chamber because these chambers get filtered to only allow extreme viewpoints thrive.

- _ink_ 1y agoCitation needed, I guess. There are studies that show that social media platforms drift to extreme content automatically. In Austria there went from a vanilla tiktok account to extreme right wing content, in every county, just by doom scrolling. And what happens if you see this content constantly? Not only to adults but also to teenagers?
