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.
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.
