KZbin's algorithm comes up with some pretty unfortunate ad placement sometimes. Today I watched a video about a guy in England who made a cute little Hobbit-style village for mice in his garden. It was preceded by an ad for pest control! And back in December when that RV blew up in Nashville, every time I watched a video about it, I'd get ads for RVs.

[@flaminG-Ghost]

uBlock Origin keeps me safe and protected like a warm blanket!!!

[@creativedesignation7880]

That is not unfortunate at all, that is on purpose. KZbin will match advertisers to videos containing the tags the advertiser wants to be associated with. That is for example why you will always get Monsanto ads on anything critical of Monsanto, cause they decided they want to create a counter narrative right where they are criticised and youtube provides them with the infrastructure to do that. By the same logic someone selling alcohol might anticipate to make the bigger profit, if they get 20 alcoholics to relapse as opposed to getting 20 random people interested in their product. Sometimes the ads don't land perfectly, like with that pest control ad, but often the choices are made very deliberately, like with that RV. Worried your RV will blow up? Better buy a new one.

[@Banazama]

Elegant and clever maybe, but this sketch couldn't get any less subtle. I think the strength of the sketch is more from the fact that it is rather dry and unbiased explanation of social media radicalization. It strays away from examples that would alienate audiences that have unknowingly fallen into echo chambers, the exact people that really need a reminder of this sort of thing.

[@OzixiThrill]

If this passes as subtlety these days, then I guess a pack of elephants stampeding through a store selling antique fine china is the peak of subtlety.

[@theactualbobross5556]

@@Banazama but the algorithm part wasn’t directly referencing radicalized groups it was referencing the concept of Facebook and Twitter social circles becoming echo chambers of agreeing or applauding the ego because you get into groups of similar thought. This happens to pretty much every group not just flat earthers. Left, Right, Authoritarian, or libertarian, the whole political compass is the precursor to tribe mentality around political ideology that the algorithm and social media has helped flat earthers and pig fuckers to find communities to help justify their actions or thoughts. That’s there are people still convinced Biden has been the best so far, why some believe trump never made a single mistake, why some still think the cake is real.

“My views are the only right ones.” So relatable.

[@PixieoftheWood]

Yeah, that mindset is practically universal now. It's the one thing we all share. It's a large part of the reason that I can't even visualize how a Trump supporter thinks, and it's honestly hard for me to even think of them as people. Most of the time I just think of them as 'oh, they're those creatures who don't wear masks or get vaccines so they can deliberately spread diseases, because they feed on the drama. Like mosquitos with malaria, except worse because the mosquitos don't actually know they're spreading a disease when they feed.' This video made me pause and think 'oh, Trump supporters probably do have an actual point of view', but even knowing my views are largely due to being in an echo chamber, it's still impossible for me to even imagine what their perspective is. Probably because with the algorithm, I'm rarely even exposed to their point of view. Then, because all sides are in our own echochamber, our views end up driven so far apart that even when we do speak our sense of what reality is and where we're coming from is so far apart that we can't even begin to understand each other.

[@kooldudematt1]

@@PixieoftheWood It's also hard for Trump supporters to think of brainwashed idiotic Leftists, who literally and unironically live in echo chambers, as anything more than scum to be filled with lead. Hard to see them as anything more than whining, festering, rot-filled maggots. It's hard to visualize how people can be so braindead and stupid that they listen to every lie the mainstream media put forth and drink the way a whore does with semen. Extremely difficult to view people who think murdering the unborn is somehow a woman's "right"-and people who burn down cities being racist while shouting about how anti-racist they are-as anything more than a cancer to society and a disease that needs to be removed with violence and extreme prejudice. Very hard to view "communists" as anything more than target practice.
