It seems that after a decade of promoting click-bait over content that YouTube are adding - dare I say - People! Yes, people to help untangle the mess of disinformation, chicanery, fraud, and hoax videos in recommendations. A good thing? I tend to think so, but let's wait and see if YouTube messes this one up.

Now if they could just push back on copywrite trolls… that would be great.
One thing I've noticed in the past few weeks is algorithms are feeding me a LOT of 'gun porn' and more disturbingly… 'heaven weapons porn': how a mortar works… how a grenade works… look at the awesome fire power of the A10 Warthog… or such and such tank.
it's not so much a 'pro gun' push, its more like a brute force normalisation campaign for weapons of war
Youtube is a NSA data collecting and manipulation tool, anybody riding the wave is promoting their cause.
Clearly presented. Yes, very well said.
If it's Any Consolation YouTube is Recommending the Heck Out of your Videos on My Feed. There's a Lot I Don't Like About YouTube. Recently I Unsubscribed to All the Channels I was Subscribed to. What I've Noticed Lately is YouTube Claiming I Viewed Videos I Never Clicked on .As I Scroll My Recommended If I slow Down Just a Little the Videos I Slow On Are Listed with the Videos I Actually Clicked On & Watched. Seems Kinda Dishonest. I Wonder do they Do that to Unfairly Charge Advertisers?
Apollo is poison…. social poison. And for many, it's career poison. Because it's career poison, it's also poisoned relationships within my family. The Apollo topic today is equivalent to slavery in 1860. And like 1860, people have picked their sides with no one budging.
"A man will never understand a thing when his livelihood require that he not understand it". Mark Twain True for slavery in 1860 and currently true for Apollo.
are you bummed out that there have been almost no changes made since this video was created and the few that have been made are for the worse?
I'm one of the causal viewers ….I too was unsubscribed. When I do visit your channel I watch multiple videos in a row. Apollo gear is super interesting…
for fun
try making some fringe wacko stuff
Hi Fran. Just wanted to let you know that some people do unsubscribe legitimately. For example, I unsubscribed about 3 years ago when you were posting a lot of videos about entrepreneurship, frantone kickstarter and similar stuff that I was not really interseted in. I'm interested in explanation-type videos, or where you discuss some vintage tech, etc and back then I thought that it was no longer going to be your direction. I see you posted a bunch of new interesting stuff, so I'll have to catch up.
I have come upon this video again, it didn't age well. What has come out as of late about what google is doing is sinister. Censorship of the democrats opposition, messing with algorithms. 1984 and Brave new world is what big tech has brought in.
Why is there always only one accepted way of thinking? Anything that goes against the 'official'' mainstream is deemed hoax, conspiracy theory, etc etc. to discredit.
How did we get to the point that people believe that carbon tax will change climate?
I could make several other points on other topics as well. TV makes people stupid. Who fact checks the left-wing fact checkers?
Let the free market decide…. how about that?
Well done Fran you are right on target, compathion will slap you in the face so hard you might see the light after it is to late to recover from it. ie browsers are a prime example of this. It is very, very hard to fix a stupid company and people.
Somehow my subscription dissappeared, which is strange because Fran has one of my top favourite channels ! Re-subscribed. BTW a lot of the rubbish science and history is still being recommended by YouTube, all I do is "DISLIKE" them, after giving them a thumbs down and maybe a negative comment.
I'll take you over the hat. Where are we going to eat?
YouTube often uses sources that are unreliable. Especially those sources that are from personal opinions. The problem we have is the people who are the problem are the ones making the decisions.
