Kidplayer_666@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Algorithms are breaking how we think - Technology Connections3·5 months agoSo, context: I’m still fairly young (right now in college), from Europe and fairly into politics (US and otherwise), this all happened when I was still in high school. On YouTube I watch primarily tech/educational content. And then the algorithm starts pushing TLDR news on me. That’s fine, those guys are generally ok and their sources are reliable. Besides, I already have plenty of European news sources and want to catch up to the US. Then slowly new channels were introduced. At first confirming my beliefs, how healthcare is terrible et. all(in the US). Then it started planting small lies, like how there are “only two federal holidays”(it took me a while, even after quitting to dismiss this as a lie and actually checking my sources), and it started escalating, trying to push me left and towards more radical solutions. I’m not yet sure exactly when or how, but at some point I smelled bull crap and realised I was being messed up with. At which point I quit and started curing my own feed.

YouTube tried to radicalise me to the left ( Yes, I do realise the irony of saying this on this particular server, but it’s my story, and merits telling regardless), and I felt myself spiralling. I realised it, and cut off all of the algorithms. Now I use Freetube on the desktop, so that I only have the content I choose, and the fediverse as other social media.

Oh no, I do know it is actual dissent circulating, but every now and then it’s good to remind people that for some reason Mr Xi Jinping hates the damn stupid comparison with a cartoon bear. And it is actual dissent, since they’ve actually temporarily blocked queries on Baidu for such The Poo, Winnie
China forced Apple to only allow airdrop to all for a few minutes at a time, as apparently it was a popular way to spread Winnie the Pooh pictures

I gotta say, I love the fact I learned this through a comedian, who actually is literate and went through the work of reading and realising the answer is right there
