On YouTube, videos featuring these bizarre and overwrought tales are proliferating, claiming Trump-world figures bested their antagonists during micro-interactions: at restaurants, on the street, in little-known court cases, and on late-night talk shows. These videos often generate thousands of views and a flood of supportive comments—and they’re all completely fake.

    Recommend not letting old people use YouTube unattended. Same for children.

    Really, no one should be using most of YouTube. It’s a big ol’ cognito-hazard.

      Don’t have the time to keep them from watching misinformation and AI slop on YouTube all the time, unfortunately.

      While there’s not much I can do about stopping them from searching for and watching right-wing extremism, I can at least keep YouTube itself from recommending it by telling the algorithm not to recommend certain channels.
