  1. Re joined after a long #socialmedia cleanse. Only platform that kept me coming back was #youtube. I want #mastodon to do the same and keep me coming back here. #noalgorithm (Didn't mind the #youtubealgorithm

  2. It is funny seeing a 2 year old video suddenly take off on YouTube for no apparent reason.

    It's this one if you wanted to watch it: https://videos.alexhyett.com/w/kThbvUPAyZUpeDmMBg3pFS

    🚨🚨🚨ALERT🚨🚨🚨

    #Youtube like all #fascist #social #media is gaming its #algorithm to the right...

    I am left of centre, have been for many years.
    Had an opportunity to train the #algo for many years...

    ... Recently I have observed that right content makers have started to bleed into my landing page.

    And while I acknowledge that algos change... there is no doubt that YouTube has fallen to pressure of the #Nazis or worse, has done this of their own violition...

    ... This is (one of the reasons) why 30% of Amerikkkans think it's ok to shoot a woman in the face and call her a "Fucking Bitch"

    Fascist are created.
    And YouTube is making them.

  4. YouTube zerstört systematisch sein Langformat-Ökosystem. Claudia Klinger zeigt in ihrem Digital Diary auf, wie Algorithmus-Änderungen etablierte Creator diskriminieren: Nur noch Login-Klicks zählen, Retention-Rate statt Watch-Time entscheidend, KI-Shorts bevorzugt. Qualität verliert gegen Quantität. Wem hilft das wirklich? #YouTubeAlgorithm #ContentCreation #Tiktokisierung

  5. 🚫🔍 "Breaking news: despite desperate attempts by math enthusiasts, the elusive quintic formula remains as imaginary as a #unicorn. 🦄 YouTube's algorithm still has no solution, but hey, at least we got a video out of it!" 🎬🤦‍♂️

  6. Well, that's new...

    My musical choices on youtube just triggered it's suicide prevention splash page and a "You are NOT alone" banner on the subsequent content pages.

    Now I feel like I've alarmed someone unnecessarily and have an overwhelming urge to explain that I'm not feeling suicidal, I just like quiet, pensive music. 😬

    I suppose I should also thank them for making me experience teen-panic one more time in my life.

  7. The YouTube Algorithm:

    Me: Listens to a song actively nearly on loop for like a week - Not added to the generated "My Mix" playlist.

    Me: Plays a random older song once to show my kids the old music video - YouTube keeps permanently adding this video to every new "My Mix" playlist going forward for the next year.

  8. YouTube: Hey we think you'd really enjoy an entire playlist of songs by and remixes by Mark Ronson

    Me: 👀 How Very Dare You.! NO.

  9. No idea what triggered it but YouTube has started heavily recommending me TERF and "You won't believe what the Wokeratii have done!" type videos and OMFG it's so Frustrating and I dearly need it to just stop.

    NOTHING about my regular viewing habits should prompt that kind of content. NOTHING.

    Algorithmic recommendations are the suck

  11. I don’t do conspiracy theories, period, at all—the end. From the left or the right.

    If you log onto Mastodon, you see non-stop political discourse that is increasingly becoming radical from the left. If you log onto Twitter or Reddit, you see anti-Semitism, fascism, and Jesus Gets Us ads.

    There is no moral equivalence, nor am I arguing that. However, the existence of fascism doesn’t justify spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories to counter their conspiracy theories. In fact, it should be even more of a motivator to be meticulous and rigorous when laying out a persuasive case.

    While I am a magician and an occultist, I am fact-based and data-driven. If there is not a significant amount of data or if what you are asserting does not have enough empirical support, I will categorize it as speculation, conjecture, a counterfactual, and thus fiction.

    I don’t know if it is because it is an election year, but social media has become a dumpster fire of misinformation, conspiracy theories, antagonism, and non-stop political discourse. On a personal level, I resent it when people try to manipulate my opinions or beliefs.

    Again, there is no moral equivalence to fascism, but people should stop and evaluate the tactics they, themselves, use. Fascists spread conspiracy theories as a Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) tactic. I am seeing FUD spread all over Mastodon from people on the far left. It is an appeal to fear by creating paranoia. If you do this, you’re participating in Machiavellianism and expressing the same cynical view that is the slippery slope down into fascism. It could always be you. Most monsters don’t start off that way.

    A lot of people who do horrible things do so because they believe it is for a good cause. Most people end up in cults because they believe they can recognize when something is a cult, and since they would never join a cult, it isn’t a cult. In addition to that, very intelligent people are more likely to believe misinformation if it comes from peers and their peer network that they have strong relationships with. That’s why misinformation spreads like wildfire through highly connected social networks.

    Using Machiavellian approaches, for whatever reason, is implicitly the same type of cynical justification that fascists use. I’m not so naive to think that these random posts most people won’t see will change anything. I am just simply stating I’m logging off from social media because the conspiracy theories from all sides are too damn much.

    I’m backing up this site as I type this, moving a live site to my local host, and I will continue to express my thoughts privately. Thank God, all of my RSS feeds for reputable news and peer-reviewed research are set up on my smartphone and via Thunderbird. I have YouTube carefully tuned for only STEM stuff, and I have disallowed it to make recommendations for me. People have lost their damn marbles. As someone who deals with the esoteric and arcane and the spooky, I’ve always largely ignored conspiracy theories, but this is getting out of hand. I will not drink from a poisoned well. Time for me to log off.

  12. My suggestion for #YouTubers is to amend their usual sign-off to:

    > Like, comment and smash our corporate overlords by subscribing to this rss-feed.

    They would have to create an rss-feed but that isn't exactly difficult.

  13. CW: Covid crank-buster

    The #YoutubeAlgorithm in its never-ending project of turning folk into #TrumpSupporters, #AntiMaskers, #WhiteSupremecists, #FoxNewsVictims and #SovereignCtizens, shows me a certain #DrJohnCambellCovidCrank.

    But happy days are here again and #SusanOliver has been good enough to spike a misunderstanding or two that Dr John may have profited from financially if his YT video is monetised.

    Spike proteins in hearts and brain is not what Dr John says.

  19. Holy crap, all it took was watching one, short video to show my girls how credit card imprinters worked for us to pay with a card in shops before chin-and-pin machines, and this has been my recommendations for the last week ...

    @mikehall314, having been listening to your articles on Skeptics with a K, this felt ... timely ...
