MODERATORS
Youtube comments can be strangely helpful here, sometimes. If there's a lot of "akshually" comments on every video, it may be a sign the youtuber is full of it. Not always true, but anything helps. Can also look up the youtuber's credentials as well.
You know that channels can curate which comments they have visible on their videos? Mostly this is used to silence hateful comments, but it's just as easily abused to remove all differing points of view.
If all the comments agree, you're probably in a curated bubble.
I forgot about that. Good catch.
