I did not see anything that manages who can pay their $8. $8 a month
gets you a blue check, and off you go.
What Forrest said is the basis of all of it. The "algorithm" is really
only concerned about clicks. More clicks = more amplification (because
more ads). Numerous studies have shown that the more outrageous (more
whacko) the statement, the more clicks it generates. Ergo, middle of the
road statements (which are probably more common and/or less
inflammatory) are more boring, hence generate fewer clicks. So what we
end up with is a hellscape of extreme ideas drowning out the more
mainstream ideas. Driving everyone to the outer edges only makes us more
divided. If divided is what you want, here (more of) it comes.

From where I sit, it looks like it is going to become a fetid hell pit.
Anyone who might have tried to manage disinformation has been shown
the door. It will get much, much worse before it had any chance of
getting better.
You can buy legitimacy for $8 a month.

So, new computer, finally got icons displaying (My son

Youtube viewed with new chrome on a new computer has
quickly figured out that I like to watch Ben Shapiro
and Charlie Kirk gotcha videos and is recommending
nothing else other than right wing gotcha stuff. It
is amusing, but I am wondering what does the other
side look like? Is there a whole alternate youtube
universe of leftist gotcha videos that make fun of Ben
Shapiro and push all the left hot button issues.
lgbtq trans, crt, BLM, defund the police, etc stuff
100% of the time etc.
Is youtube just right leaning?
Or is there no cogent left leaning content on par with
a Ben Shapiro type of thing?
