    I guess people would rather eat shit than vegetables.

    It’s not entirely their choice. The algorithm decides what’s presented.

      It does so based on their inputs though. That doesn’t mean people are entirely in charge, but I think it’s wrong to say they have no involvement and just receive whatever the silicon genie dictates.

      I don’t understand this argument. Yes the algorithm is pretty bad and pushes a lot of random trash content but YouTube has always offered a way to get away from the algorithm, and even now today they haven’t broken it. Just subscribe to the channels you’re interested in and don’t go on the home page. End of problem
