My wife just checked. Its now showing some pretty heinous things on the demo crat side...I dont think prior to the election that would have been tolerated. They definitely changed the "algorithm".
Roughly a week ago Insta started hitting me hard with right-wing memes and creationist bullshit.
YouTube is now showing nothing but (tr)ump stuff....I have not looked at dump stuff on YouTube. It's all positive on him too.
Is this on Shorts or actual videos/suggestions?
Same. I get ads from all kinds of wackos: zionists, creationists, prosperity gospel, etc. The "sponsored" posts are nonstop disinformation.
Yeah the unspecified "issue" is probably that the blocklist was not a shadow ban but blatantly obvious. They probably only unblocked direct searches for these keywords. Wanna bet posts containing any of the listed keywords are still either removed from all other feeds or at least deranked in the great algoritm?
