    “I was just trying to watch some spider man dancing videos and somehow I wound up being fed Ben Shapiro and PragerU videos”

    YouTube’s algorithm sucks, it funnels everyone to far-right garbage, and so many of their “kid’s” videos are videos that kids absolutely shouldn’t be watching.

      My favorite are the videos of nannies playing with kids in some weird way and then they bend over or spread their legs. Quality garbage there. Thanks Google.

    If you tell a company to do something it ALWAYS has to be a thinly veiled threat that you will fuck their wallet if they don’t comply. Otherwise it’s all lip service and does nothing but waste our time
