YT algorithms suppress anything that doesn&#x27;t support advertisers, a neoliberal viewpoint or the tastes of the viewer... this leads to personalized filter-bubbles that doesn&#x27;t expose the viewer to controversial, unpleasant facts, or complete and nuanced reports. Tulsi, Grayzone, Jimmy Dore and blancolirio&#x27;s in-depth analysis of aircraft&#x2F;pilot news gets swept under the rug because it&#x27;s considered &quot;sad content.&quot; Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists, crazy creepy people who make weirdo videos to troll and scare children and mainstream clowns who avoid real issues like climate change get to monopolize eyeballs. Oh, and then there&#x27;s the creator extortionists who admit to filing phony abuse and copyright strikes. So if you want to make millions on YT, be like PewDiePie, make &quot;happy&quot; content that doesn&#x27;t offend anyone or discuss anything real.<p>In my mind, if individual creators wanted a bigger share of ad revenue and fair treatment, they ought to band together and form a video social media co-op that forces YT to reform their evil ways.
