Anything that's gonna mess with the algo is gonna require a coordinated effort of a shitload of people. Which is what should also be doing on places like reddit and social media.
and pressure campaigns against those advertisers.
I think targeting the advertisers is the big one. It would work better if MeToo still existed, but the Biden campaign killed that. Maybe MeToo can be resurrected as an offshoot of the abortion rights struggle that will be escalating in the upcoming years. Maybe campaigns can appeal to parents of daughters. "This is what YouTube is telling your daughter's male classmates." "This is what those male classmates are saying. [Some vile quotes]" "YouTube is profiting off of victimizing your children."
So, if you wanna do something like that, I'd say target individual workers at the company you're trying to get to abandon youtube. Because if you just send a letter, or something you're not gonna get anywhere, but so many social media networks allow for targeted advertising that you could probably target everybody that works at Paypal for example, lives near their home office, and liked Kamala Harris's instagram. That would be the way to go.
