Comment on YouTube Recommendations Lead to More Extremist Content for Right-Leaning Users

Comments

This is true for most algorithms in user created content sites. Also, this isn't exclusive to right-leaning, it's the same for left-leaning, and other types of content all the same. It's just how algorithms work.

The real question should be, should we prevent this type of content from getting recommended, and where are the lines?

Has a side note, I'd love to see a Twitter style Community Notes be implemented on YT. It's the one good feature Twitter has implemented in a long while. And yes, YT has Notes, but they're done by YT themselves (the COVID ones for example).
