Yeah but there wasn't an algorithm picking out all of that shit and giving us a constant stream of 100% pure troll heroin.

Seeing one post in fifty telling you garbage puts it into the context of "that guy is saying some weird shit". Seeing only garbage in your feed makes it seem normal and those opposed to it are the weirdos.

    This is the correct answer. Once Youtube and other platforms figured out that the only thing that sells better than sex is hate, they built algorithms around feeding their viewers a constant stream of hate to keep their eyeballs glued to the screen. It's yet another example of how Capitalism will always gravitate towards Fascism.
