Yup. The sad truth is there’s no shortage of videos out there just waiting for you to engage, they will feed you literally anything at all as long as it gives them a click and some advertising money. It’s the scariest part about social media and the algorithms, because many many people are not even conscious enough to question what they’re being fed, and will just mindlessly soak it all up and take it as fact.

On the one hand yea it’s out of control and is partially to blame for the dumbing down of society, on the other hand it’s just the evolution of tabloids. People have always been bored and gullible.

Sure, the algo suggested some of these videos multiple times, before I even watched one of them fully.
