Yeah, fuck algorithms and spam-bot channels. Videos that are aimed towards kids with family friendly words and recognizable cartoon characters with no sense of coherence or reason, followed by something disturbing. I don't know what kind of person thinks spiderman with a pregnant elsa is a good idea unless it were done somewhere like Eastern Europe, places where pop culture osmosis is nonexistent.
Of course it's not just spam-bots. Terrorists (both foreign and domestic, including the NRA), drama-mongers like Keemstar, the Paul brothers and PewDiePie screaming like they're mental patients. Keemstar, Roosh V and Sargon of Akkad still allowed to be horrible shitheads while YouTube restricts LGBT videos as innapropiate for kids, someone talking about how deal with coming out the closet is hardcore gay porn. Perhaps PewDiePie alone isn't to blame. YouTube, the company itself, is both autocratic and laissez-faire in all the wrong places. YouTubers are already losing their money and YouTube's excluding those under 5000 subscribers from making money. If anything, the ones on Patreon are very lucky because YouTube won't tell them that their livelihoods are being radically changed, usually more ill than good.
To quote Jim Sterling: "YouTube... has a YouTube problem."
