In leftist spaces, right-leaning ideas are challenged. In right-leaning spaces, leftists are banned and leftist ideas are censored. Why are conservatives opposed to the free marketplace of ideas?

Serious question.

    Those comments are moderated and often just disabled.

    And making them promotes those videos, through Youtube’s shitty algorithms.

    And chopping up damning responses into nonsense is a lot easier for video than for live radio.

      Oh sure. Also, 1 good comment in 10k generally doesn’t get seen. It’s kind of a bare minimum thing I am refering to. Social media is terrible but it’s at least good that it’s social. I am refering to the “community” aspect of twitter’s “community notes” for instance. Would be great to have that next to everything really. That’s what value the comment section could hold. Kind of like having meaningful discussions on a small lemmy community. It’s a damn shame sometimes what content gets promoted and what doesn’t. Anyway I am rambling.
