Why is youtube suggesting aggressive actions against protestors? - Lemmy.world

I made sure to remove cookies and not sign in so I think these are the base suggestions made by youtube.

The YouTube algorithm is biased towards content that encourages further engagement, anger causes that, and right wing propaganda is designed to make people angry

Button pushing videos are not unique to one political leaning though. In general, websites will promote/publish whatever the big masses are more likely to click on because everyone’s hustling for ad revenue.

The media is a weird industry. I’m glad my country has a state-funded (but not state-controlled) broadcaster that doesn’t need to sensationalize everything to survive.
