https://thenextweb.com/google/2019/06/14/youtube-recommendations-toxic-algorithm-google-ai/ this is the shit pile most people choose when they moved off the #openweb and into the #dotcons to bow down to the #deathcult with every click and share. On the #siloes we worship human and natural destruction with every post we are the evil, we are the death, we are responsible.

It should not be this way #OMN

‘YouTube recommendations are toxic,’ says dev who worked on the algorithm

Google is notoriously cryptic about how YouTube's recommendations work, that's why Guillaume Chaslot is fighting for increased transparency

@witchescauldron
#YouTube is a silo that has likely gotten much worse since 2016.

(#RT has a lot of quality content, we must fully admit this, and #ChrisHedges has been known to have really insightful guests.

Just because something gets funding from a government that isn't ours, that doesn't automatically equal bad, to think that would make us #autocratic.

The whole #RussiaGate thing was a hoax to smear #JulianAssange and stop #Trump from doing certain things. That's obvious today.)

@dsfgs youtube is pushing human stupidity #RT is pushing Kremlin agender, dressed in sweet tasting progressive messages. don't know what Hedges is pushing. I am pushing #PGA and #4opens we all have agenders best to be open about them :)

@witchescauldron
We don't think #YouTube was always like this. Post 2016 we think they (and #Fakebook etc) went into overdrive.

#RT are not always positive toward #Russia. I personally think #Novosti hand picked some great #independentThinkers and #journalists of our time, after the #USA #EstablishmentMedia fired them for being an opposing voice to the #Iraq war, and just told them, "Keep doing what you are doing".

Eg. #JulianAssange was on RT.

#FreeAssange

@witchescauldron
Our main gripe with RT is they present as a #mainstreamMedia outlet. They failed to talk about third parties during the #USElection also.

Have you considered approaching RT yourself? We would think that your ideas for #IndyMedia might be something that #PeterLavelle on #CrossTalk would be able to give airtime to. He is always hosting people from #independentMedia.

Maybe on his next "crosstalk" about the #mediaLandscape we could find you on there :)

Have you seen CrossTalk?

The original article shared above spoke poorly of RT.

That's why we started talking about it in brackets.

The above is a good video. Why these people don't use #CorporateTotalitarianism, #CorporateFascism or simply #Corporatism is an oversight.

We will need to watch the other four in the series.

The film, #Obey (2013) does a great job.

Also #TheCenturyOfTheSelf by filmmaker #AdamCurtis, highlights how the citizen was manipulated into a #consumer using various…1/2

2/2… techniques of oppression including #policeBrutality, #militaryCoups, #celebrity, #PRCampaigns, #fakeNews, #fakeHealthNews and appealing to base #sexualDrives and underlying #desires.

These techniques are as relevant today as ever.

We believe people cannot defend themselves against #psychologicalWarfare techniques until they watch that documentary.

@witchescauldron
The 2nd episode of this is really over the top with #KeynesianEconomics, which abuses the environment like nothing we had seen before, and helped fund the rise of #Germany in the 1930's.

#Keynesianism is #deathcult stuff. People crow about it today under the label, #ModernMonetaryTheory (#MMT). Be super wary of them. The fact is we are living under MMT already, and it serves the #extremelyWealthy and well-connected. The #MMTPushers pretend that we don't have this, because…1/2

2/2… the money is created as #debt but if the tacit intention of the elite is to NOT pay back the debt, then it is just #moneyPrinting by elites for elites.

It produces the #CantillonEffect, those closest to the #moneyPrinter, the mega #corporations, get the most benefit from the inflated money supply. As money is doled to #the99Percent the effects of the #inflation, ie. higher prices, manifest. Thus the people who get the money first enjoy the most benefit before prices rise.

@witchescauldron
All these ill-effects of #Keynesianism just because of some so-called "#stickiness" of the #wages?

This #wageStickiness would only happen in a large corporation where you don't see the indiidual sacrifice and effort of the #businessOwner.

#SmallBusiness and medium-sized businesses would not have the stickiness problem mentioned, and simply justifies the notion of "#TooBigToExist".

@dsfgs #Keynesianism is the thing #neoliberalism is fighting agenst it's what the videos are the history of. In its day nobody was environmental so would not hold that agenst the theory, the updated system, that people like George Monbiot talks about would be #brightgreen which is as you say capitalism warmed up so better but no solution. The videos cover the 20th century from the view of this fight inside the power politics crew.
@dsfgs all the progressives, from the Labour Party to the Democrats in US at their most radical are ONLY offering #brightgreen #Keynesianism so it's valuable to understand the history of what they are offering and to see how the neo-liberal #deathcult won out last time. our only choices are #fascism, #deathcult, #brightgreen liberalism, or something different, we are building the something different at the #OMN understanding history is always a good thing.
@dsfgs I run tests agenst the real world all the time, asking questions in real life and online. I find a hole in the majority of people were the neo-liberal ideology lives, its invisible to them, but shapes every action they make. The videos are important because they make this invisible thinking into a real thing they can see. The videos play a part in "filling" this hole that our happiness and ecology drains into.

@witchescauldron
Its good that you do that. We run various tests ourselves. A lot of kids have no idea what is going on. That's okay because some are only teenagers or early twenties, but some of them can vote so you have to try to instill some sense of responsibility.

#Keynesianism as a response to #priceStickiness in #classicalLiberalism was a mistake. Breaking up the #monopolies that aggregate immense wealth into few hands would've been better, a bit of that happened, iirc, but maybe more.
