Oh goody. I was worried there was not enough toxicity on YouTube currently.
Not enough misinformation either!
Hmmmm, I wonder why YouTube is letting COVID and election deniers back on.
I guess it might be about time to finally cancel my YouTube premium over this. I already was a bit on the fence after they bumped up the price, this might be the final straw. There’s already plenty of misinformation on the platform as is, no need to let even more proven spreaders on there.
Do you know about revanced? It also has cool features, like disabling autodubbing: https://github.com/NoName-exe/revanced-extended
I fucking love revanced
alot of influencers turn out to be right wing shills in the end anyways. minus the pet, animal/science related ones.
They are swinging with the political wind and falling behind the administration to get favourable legislation and preferential treatment.
If a heap of people die in the process due to misinformation - they don’t care.
Don’t, be evil.

Gotta make sure that the corpos keep making money.
they been doing that since mid pandemic, the moment they announce they wernt blocking election denial was a red flag, plus also the massive jump in right wing propaganda after they lifted that sanction was pretty obvious.
simple they need the revenue, itss a sure sign after they lifted the election denial violations like 2-3 years ago from youtube
Just what the internet needed, even more lies and fascists propagandists. yay…
So you think youtube deciding what people are allowed to talk about is good?
And you dont think that if we let youtube today forbid talk about one thing, even bad, youtube will tomorow forbid talk about something good?
It seems you dont understand how censoore works.
So you made up your own fanfiction about this comment and decided to get mad at it. You’re blaming the wrong writer here.
Fucking Nazis
YouTube’s leadership is complicit. Fuck them and their blood soaked hands.
A small act of appreciation for not being broken up, after being proven of being a monopoly.
Justice so sweet, it’ll make you diabetic.
Once again discovering innovative ways to make the platform even less appealing. What will they think of next? Selling the brand to Sinclair media?
Wtf is that #titlegore
Then, is it cool to publish direct lies about red state elections? How about recommending rat poison for measles?
and there is already so much covid denial, and propaganda(anti-woke) commentors infesting videos of shows/movies as it is. its going to turn into video platform of Xitter.
plus the large amount of right wing shill, channel owners too.
as in the annoying comments against inclusivity in videos like trek, dr who, sg1.
Google execs: “you know what can boost YouTube which is already a cesspit?.. an additional foul smell”
If they appear on my homepage, i’ll make sure to hit “don’t recommend.”
The better option is to simply stop using YouTube.
I swear that feature doesn’t work. I’ve told it to stop recommending TheQuartering to me so many times and he always pops back up.
Yeah, keep contributing to their algorithm, that’ll really show them! “Stop using YouTube” is the only way to do anything about it, and people won’t
I get it. But that’s easier said than done when all my favourite channel are there. All I can do for now is keep them off my homepage by making them unfavourable to the algorithm.
At this point, the ethical thing to do is to reupload videos you like to Peertube. Sure it screws the creators, but that’s what they get for continuing to post on a fascist platform.
I get the sentiment. How should creators monetise on PeerTube, though? There are no ads, onboarding is a hassle, PeerTube itself pays nothing for content. Also, running a PeerTube instance is likely going to get expensive fast.

Patreon and merchant and whatnot, same as they do on YouTube already. It’s not as if the pittance Google pays is the majority of their income.
(Also, my comment was about random users uploading videos without the creators’ consent, so that’s really a different discussion.)

It’s built on bittorrent, you know. The more popular a video gets, the less you have to serve it yourself.
If everyone stopped using it they’d be forced to act, unfortunately too many people think exactly the same way, “but the stuff I like is there too!”
Yeah. It’s a chicken or the egg situation. I hate it, too.
Boycotts are a bucket of water that you use to put out smouldering problems. Use your hose and buckets on the fire before it gets out of control.
But when the problem is growing and it’s an inferno then you call 911. In other words: government oversight is the answer.
i dont login , so they cant datamine, and also im adblocking them at the same time. youtube cant go full-anti-adblock, so they are allowing degenerates and degenerate form of revenues to return.
Leave Google.
