Hi @darthfabulous42069, please take a look at our sidebar (or if you can't see that, the pinned comment at the top of our magazine) for submission rules around titles. We'd appreciate it if you would put those rules into practice for future submissions.

Other than that, it's very cash money of you to post the entire article in your submission. Thank you!!

Hi @stopthatgirl7, please take a look at our sidebar (or if you can't see that, the pinned comment at the top of our magazine) for submission rules around titles. We'd appreciate it if you would put those rules into practice for future submissions. Thank you!

You operate here on a voluntary basis.

This is the wrong label to use for this submission. Please change to News.

Discussion threads should not link to external sources. Discussion threads should be a place for you to post original content with regard to a question or a prompt posed about a larger concept, and not necessarily about a singular event in the politisphere. This is clearly explained in the sidebar and community / submission rules.

Please correct. Thank you!

Hi @EffectivelyHidden! The mod team just recently finalized some posting guidelines which you can find in the sidebar or a pinned thread in this magazine. One of the guidelines is to begin your titles with a label so readers know whether it is news, opinion, editorial, or analysis. Please add a label to the title in future posts. Thank you!

I saw your report and did not act on it because this site ranks with an acceptable reliability score from the media bias chart we use.

As moderators, we cannot ascertain the veracity of individual stories from white listed sources. You can use the link in the side bar to check the reliability rating of any source before reporting it; we only remove items ranking below a 32 reliability score.

Wow, that's on another level.

So since starting this thread, I had to change my login account to a professional account on my phone, and then after I was done I switched back to my personal account. All of my " do not recommend settings " have completely reset. I'm seeing videos on shorts that were shown to me two months ago. I'm getting recommendations for Ben Shapiro, his fucking sister, people doing interviews with Jeffree Star and his problematic ass. I can't believe that the algorithm totally resets just because you switch accounts! I have to start all over again trying to take the trash out.

What's kind of weird to me is that the very little political content I watch is ostensibly left wing.

I will echo what another user in this thread said and assume that it's because of standup comedy I've seen. However, I usually swipe through the clearly right wing comedians or people whose jokes are like bitching about wokism.

The reason left wingers don’t have the presence the right does on Facebook, YouTube, etc isn’t because of a lack of voices or audiences - it’s because of deliberate manipulation of what is put in front of people.

I recently have gotten into wasting tons of hours on YouTube shorts, and I was very surprised that after a grand total of maybe 12 hours of using the platform, Andrew Tate content was just shoehorned into the algorithm of shorts being presented to me. Up to this point in time I was watching cosmetics, baking cookies, comedy, cooking, just funny hot takes, but then completely out of the blue one day that guy's ugly ass monkey face was on my phone, and even though it was so quick that I couldn't even think of his name, my lizard braid already recognized that he is very dangerous to women, so I opened the menu to select the feature on YouTube that prevents those channels from being promoted to me ever again.

There is 0% chance that the content that I had previously been watching links up in the algorithm to Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, or Andrew Tate. This leads me to believe that YouTube intentionally carves out space for these content creators and makes promises about getting their content in front of everybody's eyeballs, regardless of level of interest in that type of content.

In the article, one source stated that their work has become more intense. This isn't something I anticipated, but it seems the logical conclusion: if you utilize AI for all the easiest parts of your job, then all that remains are the hard parts, which now dominate your workday because you knocked out all the easy things quickly.

Gets me thinking about how I need some of the easy things to be a release valve for my workflow. I need the sense of accomplishment from those easier/smaller tasks to keep up my morale and energy for the larger projects.

What is it about this photo that makes me look at this cat's face and instantly know it is indeed a bullshitter?

Thanks @torknorggren for letting me know first link was 404'd on my first post. Thanks @PeterGintz for correcting the link. That link is now in this thread.
