    Your position is a techno-elitist. Saying that people should be aware of the biases in an algorithm (that they can’t review and is subject to arbitrary change). People shouldn’t have to work to find unbiased and high quality content. Hell, I did a deep dive the other weekend on the moon and my YouTube feed is filled with flat earther videos.

    I am not saying that some people want the content, just that the algo selects for the controversy. It takes work to avoid that. Again, my YouTube feed has the world ending tomorrow because I watched a few moon videos.

    And for the record, I tried really hard to find reputable sources and non-aliens-created-the-pyramids content.
