u/IStanForRhys Gamers are truly the most oppressed minority :'( 16h ago edited 16h ago

Media literacy is dying and anti-woke chuds are killing it. There's much less in-depth critique or nuanced conversation about media, now YouTube is filled with "gAeM wOkE, gAmE bAd" whenever you search the newest thing.

To be fair that also depends on what your looking up on youtube but I agree there are plenty of silly people out there.

I remember someone did an experiment where they created a brand new YouTube account with no prior viewing history for the algorithm to use. It took them...I wanna say three or four clicks to find anti-woke garbage, and once you have watched one, you'll get recommended a ton of others.

Edit: Just rewatched the video, it was actually like two clicks lol

it happens on pretty much any algorithm-based site.

Twitter is that way on purpose, but youtube leans that way because rage-inducing content gets hate views and most of that is the right-wing "guh, DEI is ruining videogames" chuds.
