I’m definitely old enough to remember it, I just never used it. But maybe you’re right. I remember the early youtube, before google took it over and yeah, it was very different. I’m just not sure if it turned in what it is today because evil corporations monetized it or because people are just stupid assholes. Probably little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.
Mostly column A imo
Maybe you should read up about it before flapping about not knowing anything.
Behind the Bastards did a great episode on Fuckerberg and all the bullshit and damage he’s done. He literally caused a fucking GENOCIDE. All driven by “engagement.”

I know about it but I don’t think a program aimed at teenagers would stop Myanmar genocide…
Keep moving those goalposts.
What? The post says ‘thwarted initiatives meant to improve the well-being of teens’. You’re jumping out with Myanmar and I’m the one moving goalposts? Delusional much?
