    Yes there's a bias for sure. It's there because it's rage bait for liberal people and confirmation bias for conservative people. It gets clicks so they recommend it to both "sides"

    That will help but you need to have something else for the algo to give you. It's gotta give you something so it's best to go watch 5 videos of something youd like more of.

    No, the algo goes with what it knows you'll click. Watch other stuff and it'll go away mostly. Then say you don't want the stuff that gets through.

    In your first link I found the article about Maggie Haberman interesting. How she is the nyt political reporter and had a lot of info in the trump era but nothing during the Biden reign, and how she's not an author on the nyt article that calls out trump.

    It's impressive that they're willing to stand by their convictions, they're good people.

    We asked the couple if they regret making the commercial in light of what’s happening to them now.

    “Absolutely not,” insists Kristina. “Not for one second. It’s very scary, but we as Republicans must stand up.”

    “If we don’t stand up,” interjects Bob, “I don’t want to think about the consequences.”

    There's 3d printed houses. I don't think robots building houses is going to happen tomorrow, but looking more than 20 years into the future and predicting stuff is tough.

    That just screams old person or super religious to me. I guess that might be off putting it you're talking about it in the board room, but in my experience white collar/blue collar it's pretty normal for a lot of "vulgar" words to be used.

    This is the Internet, if the fucks aren't being directed at anyone on the conversation then it's fine imo.

    To me it's like ignoring the entire point in a comment because they made a typo.
