It has a huge hold over our youth today, even folks up to 30. It’s so ubiquitous it’s used as a replacement for Google to find new information including political.

Oh yes VERY unlike those. Anything that can be traced and verified, aren’t read to you by an AI voice or a white person claiming to be an American while trying very hard to suppress an Eastern European or East Asian accent. Another good trait to have would be anything that isn’t verifiably false.
Well that and whatever will keep you addicted and hopefully spending money.

Among other things.
If it only showed you what you interacted with the most it’d be less of an issue but that’s not how it works. Thats not even how it works on YouTube.
Thanks for proving why that platform is just so damned dangerous. The ignorance it inspires is shocking.
