Comment on We all know that Mr Beast, Logan Paul, and KSI are all horrible people. Why do they still have subscribers?

It’s also not really an accident either. Their popularity is not fully natural.

All these companies, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, tiktok, reddit, etc are not apolitical entities, they gain by pushing right-wing content to certain demographics of vulnerable users.

I’ve noticed that personally I can’t use algorithmic media like this because it will shove that content like that down my throat and I refuse. But not everyone has that self-awareness and introspection. And some of the content is really subtle, not enough to be noticable at first.
