Kapwing’s new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos. But which countries and channels are achieving the greatest reach — and how much money might they make? We analyzed social data to find out.
The worst thing I’ve found with the algorithm is that it continually tries to steer me towards right-wing crap like Jordan Petersen and various manosphere posers, even though I watch a lot of LGBTQ+ and Marxist channels. And if ever you come to YouTube with no account on a clean machine on a new IP address, it pushes almost entirely right-wing propaganda videos.
Holy shit, yes. You can watch leftist content for years, but heaven forbid you watch one gaming-related video and it assumes you’re an alt-right racist gamergate incel.
I noticed that they show up in the next section of video game related videos before I blocked those type of channels. It is interesting that video game clips tend to result in those type of podcasters showing up in those feeds, which is likely due to the strategy used by those groups using games to try to reach that demographic.
You need an account for an algorithm, which I dont use with youtube. My algorithm has been blocking channels.
And when it comes to search results youtube isn’t great usually defaulting to showing the highest subscriber videos over what might be more relevant and pushing down smaller channels.
And yet I don’t see any of that. Lots of people complain about “the algorithm” but it seems to be working well for me.
