Is anyone here going through the same situation? I usually consume content about films, series, anime, etc. But out of nowhere my feed started recommending racist, Nazi and right-wing content. I’m not saying that right-wingers are Nazis or racists, I’m saying that right-wing content is appearing to me alongside racist and Nazi content. Anyone here having the same problem?
I could be wrong, but it might be unintentional. The algorithm seeing a process by which rage and reaction generates more views (and hence more ad revenue) and tries to see if it can get it to spread. Same thing that lead to all those stupid “open mouth yelling” thumbnails.
It’s still irresponsible, and I’m all for assuming evil out of Google, I just don’t think they’d gain much from getting you specifically indoctrinated by Ben Shapiro.

Despite people’s cynicism, it actually does work.
