  1. YouTube needs a competitor with as good or better front end, which shouldn't be too tough for enterprising programmers. I can definitely see how they try to trap me in my bubble, especially if I make the mistake of looking for Sasquatch one day. That puts me right into the heart of the UFO and Ancient Aliens morass, shouldering aside the history of 11th Century Eurasia that I would've indulged in, otherwise.

  2. Yes. But let the regulators come in and bureaucrats really take over the filtering programs, and we'll be well on our way to homogenization. I hope Trump keeps his hands off and just lets THESE kinds of conversations get his job done for him, marginalizing the Big-Brother Platforms. It's hard for people to imagine, but really, things change very rapidly, nowadays. The culture's left the culture manufacturers behind, and it's becoming more and more obvious, every day. You CAN shadow-ban or slyly slip my comments into the SPAM folder, but in so doing, you create an advocate against your service. And all my friends. And all their friends, because we use the e-coms against the people who seek to sanitize them. The mindset of those who would control makes them clumsier than the society.

  3. But anyway, to be responsive to what you actually SAID, I think they're trying to control something that's just too big for them to control. They can't prevent these conversations from taking place, before the fact, without totally wrecking the functionality. And by the time they DO perfect the control, nobody will trust or want their invasive services.

  4. So Google basically allows the most outraged, most marginalized, and most vocal minority to take over the narrative, just by acting butt-hurt and whining. That's the Left's specialty. Plain talk about immigration? Nah. Many of the hard facts are pushed to the bottom or OFF the stack, because they weigh against Open Borders, and anything against open borders is sure to trigger the thought police - er, ah - the fringe left. The moderate left are - or were - open to a conversation and debate, until the hard left weaponized political correctness and hate mobs.

  5. Thanks for putting this engine and other alternatives to the Establishment-Left monopolies.
