YouTube’s loaded with disinformation about everything. Especially egregious are the awful ads YouTube runs about scammy health cures and devices.
Which is why we need downvote buttons by default for those videos. People say it’s unnecessary, but you at least have to let the upvotes go to zero if there are that many downvotes.
Only YouTube says downvotes are unnecessary, users want them back and never wanted them removed.
We need laws that make it illegal to disinform people for profit.
There are, and have been, but Republicans constantly work to repeal them, calling it ‘deregulation’.
Businesses would sell you cyanide and call it a weight-loss miracle cure if the laws didn’t prevent it.
YouTube has ads? 🤔
“Use this eye mask to protect you from 5g while you sleep” yes, such a thing existed, and it was removed from amazon for putting out harmful radiation.
Not just ads, but actual content creators themselves. If a channel has someone calling themselves “Dr.” and giving out medical advice, 99% they are a chiropractor.
And don’t forget that mr Beast is gifting all his subscribers 100$ if you just send a pic of your social security card
YouTube is filled with whatever people fill it with. Some of it is misinformation, some of it is (obviously) super valuable and helpful information. It is not YTs job or responsibility to be the arbiter of truth.
I would have agreed upon that only if youtube didn’t shove videos like these down everyone’s throat if you create a new account, you would get videos like these pretty easily
That’s because videos like these are exploiting the algorithm. That’s why there are so many.
