MODERATORS
Having the plague for a few years during a formative time in their lives and having a ton of time to get sucked into YouTube rabbit holes that invariably start recommending conservative content had a big part to play.
Its not accidental. The money and effort spent in the last 10 years to make young men go ultra right wing is HUGE. Like billions of dollars. A lot of social media sites like youtube have entirely changed theor algorithms so ig you look at any video game content your gonna get reccomended literal nazi shit.
Yeah I'm aware it's an intentional effort that's easily reproducible when someone makes a fresh account and sees how quickly they start getting clips with Andrew Tate or Asmongold saying having empathy is weakness.
I literally looked up a video the other day to see if my performance issues in oblivion remaster (which i pirated cuz some awesome people cracked it like instantly) were just a linux thing, and it seems like a normal video talking about bad performance then half way thru they start throwing out anti-trans dog whistles. Putting up screen shots of trans characters in a game and being like "But this game has other issues".
So of course i switch off the video dislike it and am like wtf. Click on another similar video and NOT ONLY is it also anti-trans but the script is WORD FOR WORD the same as the last video. Like they were both given the same script to make a video with. Now could one of them have just copied the others video? I guess. But it makes me think its like the whole sinclair broadcasting thing where all the local news anchors say the same stuff cuz they answer to the same parent company.
