YouTube used to be a general-interest video site for all ages. During the pandemic, something drastically happened. The algorithm and search engine seemed to completely break--not just for me but for a lot of people. No matter what you search, you keep getting served the same bogus content from disinfo agents, fake news channels and everything else in between, including racist and antisemitic content.

For example, do a search for Disney. Just "Disney", nothing else. A video from the official Disney corporation will turn up, immediately followed by Alt Right channels like Ryan Rinkel Outpost, The Quartering and others. You'd think family-friendly travel shows and guides would be the first thing you'd see but YouTube promotes these Alt Right channel and hardly promotes the other ones. In some cases, YouTube will even juxtapose official Disney content with these Alt Right crackpots.

YouTube has also been promoting a lot of scamfluencers. Scamfluencers are people pretending to just be vloggers/ social media influencers but are getting slipped money under the table by power brokers, think tanks and foreign agents to spread propaganda. When they have enough viewers, they then start spewing fake news and propaganda from their handlers. One of them is a fraud called Cash Jordan, who keeps taking pictures of graffiti and garbage dumps, putting a grungy filter on them and posting clickbait about NYC dying, going under, falling apart, etc. He will even take old photographs and post them as if they were just happening.

Another scamfluencer is The World According to Briggs. His gimmick is alerting everyone to all the "whitest states", "blackest states", most "Jewish states", etc., I suppose, to help lend enemies of state and domestic terrorists a helping hand in knowing which places to hit when they want to commit an act of violence.

A third scamfluencer is The Real Economy. Pretended to be a regular shopper documenting post-pandemic price surges, then took a hard turn into QAnonville/Election was Riggedsville as soon as he had enough subscribers.

Look at the rest of the gallery to see the oh, so "wholesome" videos that YouTube has been promoting, because everything that I said doesn't even touch the surface--"autism gurus" teaching American kids how to learn that they're autistic, a Holocaust survivor who would've been a fetus when it happened pushing anti-vaxx, an Iranian asset on Sky News attacking American leaders and public figures. It is to laugh!
