YouTube tried to red pill me today
So…I know this happens all the time, but it doesn’t usually happen to me because I don’t use many platforms (Reddit and YouTube only), and I’m very careful about what pages/channels I visit or view.
Today I was having fun letting YouTube feed me reaction videos by Gen Zers who had never heard certain music before. Just a way to keep my mind off my workout.
After many videos from a particular group of entertaining men (young black men if you’re interested in the demographics) reacting to various artists and bands, YouTube started feeding me their positive reactions to right wing propaganda videos. They didn’t even really seem like they understood very much of what they were reacting to and they certainly did not seem well informed. Just got red pilled themselves and started trying to red pill others?
No idea if they started with music and innocently moved on to politics or it was a purposeful effort to lull people in with music and then move on to politics, but it was very disconcerting.
Why do none of these “crossover” “grab bag” type (lifestyle or entertainment on to politics) YouTubers ever seem to be left wing propagandists? Or maybe they are, and I just don’t know about them?
No wonder our society is going crazy. Reminds me of when my cousin started viewing new mom tip videos and turned into an anti-vaxxer.
