I hardly ever watch YouTube. Most of my information, I read, as that is much easier. If I want some sound in the background to prevent me from having to manage my own thoughts, I listen to Rumble or normal podcasts.
When I do go to YouTube, it is just to watch Judge Napolitano’s interviews and a few other interview shows from people who don’t understand podcast feeds. I do not have YouTube cookies.
Every time I watch anything, which is basically always right-wing or libertarian content, I get redirected to the same communist Jew, Richard Wolff, host of Democracy At Work. I do not mean “communist Jew” in the colloquial sense of a Cultural Marxist or something, this guy is literally an 80-year old Holocaust-escaper communist Jew.
I’ve used multiple IPs and devices and confirmed what anyone can confirm: if you go on YouTube with no cookies and watch 2-3 interviews about current events from a right-wing perspective, you will be redirected to the communist Jew Richard Wolff.
No one would watch this show. It is not high information. This 80-year-old Jew literally sounds like a high schooler who just started listening to Noam Chomsky YouTube videos because he heard him referenced on a punk rock album.
Don’t get me wrong. I actually have some respect here. He defends the USSR and modern China, and doesn’t talk about any of this “woke” stuff. He appears to just legit believe in communism.
But why am I seeing this material?
As you may recall, after Trump’s 2016 election, there was a mass hysteria over the YouTube algorithm “radicalizing” people. The claim was that it would feed people progressively more extreme right-wing content, so you would go from listening to Ben Shapiro to the Daily Stormer podcast. In reality, the algorithm doesn’t understand content (well, it didn’t back then), and it was simply trying to feed you content that would keep you on the site as long as possible, to show you the most ads, and it just so happened that “progressively more extreme right-wing content” is what kept people on the site the longest.
The algorithm was just formalizing the process that a lot of people were going through in 2017, where you start to become more and more comfortable with certain “problematic” ideas, and that leads you to progressively more problematic ideas. But the New York Times and others of course called for it to all be shut down. And shut it down they did.
What was happening after that, which I witnessed through the same process described above, was that after you watched something that YouTube had marked as “far right” (and not banned yet, for whatever reason), you would be led to either Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, which have been identified as “deradicalizers” by the Google authorities. So, it was actively attempting to reverse your dive into right-wing content by pushing you back into Jew-approved versions of “right-wing” content.
But now apparently they’re just like “whatever, just feed them communism.”
It seems like this would not work quite as well as feeding people Ben Shapiro, but it seems likely that feeding people Ben Shapiro just made them angry, while this 80-year-old communist Jew just makes people laugh.
Honestly, it seems like someone at the company is having a laugh. This has happened to me probably 12 times in the last few months, and every time I am zoned out (or zoned in) and not really paying attention to the computer voice, I hear “rights for workers” and I’m like “wait, wtf?” And then I look at the screen and see this ancient Jew droning on about Karl Marx and start laughing.
It’s of course sad that everything has to be so censored. Rumble has no discovery, really. It has “free speech,” but you have to know what you want to see, or it will lead you to Dave Rubin. But I’ve enjoyed Rumble. I was watching it yesterday, and I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said “fresh” and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought “naw forget it, yo home to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house at about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabbie “yo Holmes, smell ya later!” I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there. To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
