    If it was simply serving videos, that would be fine.

    The problem here is that the platform is trying to give you certain types of videos.

    Even more than that: even though you try to avoid certain types of contents, youtube for example, will still give you that content.

    And thats where the problem is. Because that content is often alt right speaking points that get served to you even though you don’t want it.

    That’s the difference between a video game and a social media.
