    My theory is that everybody thinks the platform they use is the best and most aligned with their politics because they’ve trained the algorithm to feed them the content they like.

    YouTube hasn’t shown me anything remotely right wing in ages, but every time I try tiktok I have to thumbs down 10 different channels that repost Joe Rogan and Elon musk clips.

      Just look go to youtube in incognito mode. It’s chud central. Or look at the gender ratios, or age breakdown. The majority of Tiktok consists of normal zoomers who go outside and will bully chuds. Youtube mostly consists of neckbeard males of various ages stuck in an echo chanber since 2008.
