We know YouTube and Social Media have algorithms that steer people into rabbit-holes. Now we got folks thousands of videos into the weeds - radicalized by the "entertainment-news" they're watching. I'm getting their hateful panicked messages, you might be too.
I had been pretending to be a proper algorithm that responds with a calm, fact-checked video they might enjoy - preferably an expert they respect. Isolating folks is bad. Interacting is terrible. But maybe we can somehow influence recommendations remotely - talk to the algorithm using clicks. I'm desperate for something, anything.
