    YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.

    So it’s more likely to be bad than good.

      That depends on what you watch and subscribe. Watch angry, conflict-driven videos, and you’ll get those.

      I personally don’t get any of that shit in my feed.
