    I am a fairly radical leftist and a pacifist and you wouldn’t believe the amount of hoo-ra military, toxic masculinity, explosions and people dying, gun-lover bullshit the YouTube algorithm has attempted to force down my throat in the past year. I block every single channel that they recommend yet I am still inundated.

    Now, with shorts, it’s like they reset their whole algorithm entirely and put it into sensationalist overdrive to compete with TikTok.

      “Why are leftists so concerned over foreign authoritarian governments directly influencing the elections in their countries???”

        Unless there’s a clear violation of elections, like ballot stuffing and fraudulent votes by non-citizens and dead citizens… I could give a fk less. People have a right to speak their mind whether intelligent or psycho babbles.

          You are either incredibly naive or speak in bad faith. Pushing propaganda to misled the public in elections is much more dangerous than stuffing a few ballots into the box.
