On closer inspection, several videos on each individual channel also appear, based on review of the thumbnails, to be repeats.Ħ. (Which, as stated officially but not publicly by YouTube, allows you to repeat content across multiple channels if you are the owner of the content.)ĥ. This contradicts a written policy of YouTube, but not the actual policy. Their various channels offer videos which appear, based on review of the thumbnails, to be repeated across several channels. This conglomerate's website is copied from a web theme example.Ĥ. The channel is owned - openly - by what you might consider a conglomerate which operates about 100 youtube channels.ģ. The videos show plausible cakes and their contents do not need to be debunked.Ģ. It makes a few claims of relevance to the description "fake":ġ. > Yes, everything is fake on YT, just like everything was fake on TV. My first notion is something akin to iOS Screen Time, like a uBlock for The Outrage Machine, where your device can help you ward off manipulation (inauthentic nudges). I'm wondering if there's something to protect individuals, a way for noobs to up armor ourselves. But what about the drones? So I'll be watching the career arcs of the people interviewed (Del Harvey, Yoel Roth, Renee DiResta, others) to see where they land.īack to my own quarter baked idea, the "mitigations" explained via Smarter Every Day operate at the medium layer. Surely Sandberg, Zuck, Dorsey, et al somehow manage. So then what hope does the average person have of doing better? (Rhetorical question.)Ī la Merchants of Doubt, I've always wandered how skeptics, shills, and apologists sleep at night. You attribute most of the blame on stupid users. Social media created the problem, makes enormous profits, harms all of society, and is not only powerless to mitigate it, has no responsibility to do so.
That, society being sensible and taking some personal responsibility. Not flying, being rich or anything like that. Let's be sensible and stop going to the extremes and work together." This is the fantasy that fills my dreams. After whoever wins this election, folks are going to go, "Hold on, we're all acting like crazy people. It takes two to tango and if you're gullible enough to wreck your own life on the words of someone you've never, and will never meet. The actual social media platforms saying it's happening.Īt the same time though, it's not all their fault. Smarter Everyday interviewed all 3 and their folks talk about this directly. Not just from federal law enforcement with proof of it, but twitter, youtube and facebook know it and admit to it too.
