How’s it being censored?
Not cynical, I believe that. But I’m genuinely curious about specifics. Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?
Yes, that’s modern censorship. The owners of social media get to decide how viral a piece of content will be.
This is why when you make a new X account it pushes right-wing conspiracy nonsense. Or why Palestinian topics don’t gain traction.
The manipulation of social media to control what you see and hear is invisible. Some people, topics and keywords can be deprioritized and others boosted and nobody can know the extent except the people that own the social media companies.
The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack go into the nuts and bolts of how people are profiled so that content can be targeted at them as well as how political outcomes are driven by the manipulation of social media, they’re on Netflix.
You have to sign in to see it and it’s really hard to find on youtube even if you’re signed in. I had a hard time finding an open version of it. It’s not outright banned, just really hard to access.
YouTube recommended it to me in my sidebar a few days ago. I imagine the curse word in the title has more to do with the algorithmic suppression than the actual content.
I found it just by searching for it. It was very easy to find. And of course, anyone subscribed to Macklemore would have gotten a notification about it as well.
He’s just rapping headline news. Not my type of artist, but anyway to send a message is good. Especially if it upsets MAGA.
Wonder what Immortal Technique or Paris is doing these days 🤔
He said a naughty word! Won’t anybody think of the children?
