I had originally intended to put together a compilation of liberal reactions to Senator Kirsten Sinema ditching the Democrats. However, I changed gears when I began doing a YouTube search for such videos. What came up on the search results filtered for the past day was an OCEAN of nothing but liberal outlets with a couple of obligatory Fox News videos tossed in there in order to give YouTube the lame excuse that their search results are not biased because of the inclusion of Fox News. I hope the new Congress will look into the scandal of YouTube presenting highly biased search results. Of course, we already know that their algorithm suppresses the viewership of conservative channels.
On a side note, does anybody know why Kyle Kulinski absurdly decided to become a bleached blonde?
PING!
Big tech is a libtard scam.
Who owns YouTube? Can Musk buy it too?
Alphabet (aka Google) owns YouTube, and, no, Musk can’t buy it. He doesn’t have that kinda scratch.
Been obvious for a long time (and irritating).
How long until a Democrat sings about election rigging?
thats what kills me the most is that the dems almost never “rat” out each other.
I always the old “mafia” was dead but it is alive and well in todays democrap party. They truly have an “Omerta”
Good update. We need more watchdogs reporting every day on what the media rats are up to. They have been operating in the security of darkness way too long. They need dragging out in the sunshine which will be the end of their lies.
You went searching for exactly what you got, and you’re surprised that’s what you got? You wanted liberals reacting, apparently plenty of the other people doing the same search also wanted liberals reacting. Thus that’s what they clicked on. Thus pushing those results further up the search. That’s exactly how the software is suppose to work “people who search X clicked Y, let’s put Y at the top of the results”.
Yes, because I know how BIASED the YouTube search results are. I didn't have to enter "SINEMA LIBERALS" into the search. All I did was enter "SINEMA" only and what I got with only a couple of exceptions was liberal media reacting to Sinema splitting the party.
That’s exactly how the software is suppose to work “people who search X clicked Y, let’s put Y at the top of the results"
Actually...NO. That is NOT how it is supposed to work. When you do a search it shouldn't result in almost solely liberal sources. Yeah, I got what I was looking for but ONLY because I know how over-the-top BIASED YouTube search is.
But again that’s what you were looking for. And if others were looking for the same, well there you go. I mean really, can you imagine ANYBODY looking for conservative reactions to somebody who votes liberal 90% of the time leaving the Democratic party? Of course not. Cause the primary conservative reaction is “whatever”. So yes all the reactions anybody is going to care about is the liberal reaction.
Let’s also keep in mind YouTube knows who you are. You probably spend a lot of time clicking on liberal reactions to stuff so you can collect it and make fun of it. So it’s not only going to sort the search from what other people click with the same search, it’s also going to lean towards your history. Like when I go to YouTube and type in “fifteen feet” it gives me over a dozen links to the Nick Cave song “Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow”, including covers and reactions and a few other Nick Cave songs, and 1 (one) link to the Nora Rothman song “Fifteen/ Feet”. Why? Because YouTube knows me, and knows I like Nick Cave a lot. So even though technically speaking, using old style pure character matching the Nora Rothman song is a much better match for my search YouTube knows that’s probably not what I’m looking for and gives me better results for ME.
So again, your complaint is basically that the algorithm gave you exactly the results you wanted which is exactly what it’s supposed to do. YOU trained YouTube to give you that kind of result. Good job.
We ARE the NEW Nazi Germany under Obama/Biden. National Socialism and repression of free speech that allows only approved government thought.
As if Biden has even had a thought for himself. He is a repeater like a demented parrot.

Note exactly. You get dramatically different search results using google.com or bing.com in the number of “fact check” sites or “official” government sites float to the top in Google.
BOTH Youtube and Google using skewed search algorithms, and have been doing so for a long time.

What we’ve learned from the Twitter files is these Big tech firms are deliberately suppressing search results they disfavor, and in the case of google, depending on the search, they will deliberately attempt to *redirect* the focus of your search to something that is the antithesis of what you were looking for. They are trying to swap the publics’ mind thru the algorithm.

Sure. 2 different companies. 2 different algorithms. Google, who owns YouTube, has made their fortune on giving you the info it thinks you want, through various algorithms both using mass data and your own user history. MS decided the target market for Bing was people who are annoyed at Google’s algorithms, so they’ve tweaked their differently to appear more “neutral” and less “steered”. But don’t believe the appearance, Bing puts just as much work into trying to give you the results you want in the first 3 results as Google, they’re just aiming for a different audience.
Not really. Google knows who their audience is. And they know everybody wants the internet to be an echo chamber. Nobody conservative is Googling political stuff. You know it. I know it. And Google knows it.
