Doesn’t YouTube have some kind of algorithm that directs content to viewers based at least in part on what that person has clicked on before?
Most Americans don’t get there news from YouTube. That’s a leftist shxthole when it comes to news and the Hollywood Reporter is pushing the narrative.
News Reporting has gone native, and those natives could be revolting!
youtube has news? like real news?
Up until the end of WWII the newspaper was king in the distribution of “news”. The difference between then and now was that numbers of newspapers available. Almost every town had their own newspaper and more often then not there were two or more. They were all biased! The important thing to remember no two newspaper in the same town had the same bias, they balanced each other. This is what we lost when newspapers began going out of business, competition. Soon almost all sources of “news’ spoke with the same voice.
Fast forward to 2024 and we are returning to the day before the left was able to control the “news”.
YouTube and X have returned the United States to a time when it is impossible for one small group to control information.
I say this is a good thing.
Somewhat. I’m still trying to get used to their weather reports. That guy doesn’t stop rambling for 10 solid minutes.
Awesome... So it’s going to be aliens, grassy knolls and drones from outer space. Good to know.
A while ago I got a tour of Bloomberg News’s studio. I saw this young woman there (hot, I admit), loaded up with makeup to have a perfectly non-reflective face, under super bright lights, reading her story to their TV audience with great enthusiasm as I walked around the small area she was using (I viewed her through thick glass). It still haunts me as something from a Sci-Fi movie, but that is what is STILL how most people get their news.
So, yes, Joe Rogan ROCKS!

It does. It's easy to live in the algorithm's bubble and see only what you want to see.
Yes, but if you right click on the three dots to the right of a suggested video, you can say never show me anything from this channel again, as well as other options. I use that extensively to winnow down what YT shows me.
educate yourself and google “youtube tv network”...

Yes. I subscribe to a couple of YouTube clean comedy channels. I can bring them up by hitting the “Subscriptions” button. And YouTube shows me other clean comedy channels. It’s is a nice feature.
YouTube also has a “Don’t recommend channel” button. It’s one of the three vertical dots. Hit that button for a video, and you will see nothing from that channel ever again.
That’s another nice feature.
Me! Me! Under no circumstance do I want to have Biden or Obama or any progressive suggested to me. NEVER. EVER.
I just watch weekend update with Norm MacDonald. That catches me up on current events.

That’ news to me. If it’s videos, it’s generally too time consuming. I watch a few videos, but very few.
It is wild out there.
Think twenty years olds selling types of bitcoin that nobody has ever heard of while promising that if you buy it you can ascend to the twelfth dimension.
It does for me but I do not 'sign in' to an account. Recently I start with a clean, new computer and a browser that has never been used. Did the same with a couple of tablets. It is like starting all over again.

Yes... Or AWAY from what you like to view. Thy purposely try to distract you away from your preferences and give you THEIR preferences instead. They try to make you watch what THEY want you to watch.
I hate it...
I watch Fox News delayed a few hours on YouTube. Also commentators like Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro. Sky News Australia sometimes has a fun look when they deal with American issues.
