YES, they were already downranking good videos and promoting slop before the UK had yet another totalitarian idea. Realize this is them using you. So keep your head screwed on and know fighting against this will not make things better it will just ensure the status quote is maintained (which was already shit).

Because it has nothing to do with that, they want to control information flow, that's what the UK is doing here. This is Europe moving away form liberalism get used to this. It's going to get worse. All the worse shit form china without any of the positives.

google/alphabet et. al. has been fucked for about a decade. I can't put an excerpt from a socially unpopular book in quotes in a search engine without it returning "lmao zero results you retard faggot"

Not necessary. Just don't use recommendations. You already know who/what you want to watch.

Age restriction. This already makes it hard to use YouTube using alternatives. And they can make it worse.

Not that anon, but I use a YT account (yes, I do, deal with it archfags) almost old enough to legally drink in the NuSA, if I ever get hammered with an ID requirement that only shows the systems only exist for control through the fear of being seen.

>Things are getting so bad that Google itself feels the need to try and warn you.
I don't agree with that statement, Google has no moral backbone, they hate it because they are losing complete control over the platform, they now have to share it with the UK government. And this is geopolitically bad for google because the US cannot influence the UK, hurting the company's value to the state.
This is not me supporting what the UK is doing it's just me brainstorming why the UK is doing this and it's very likely a page out of china's book.
Preferably you do not want to be controlled by any. The state or Captal. It's both a form of tyranny.
>>
>>109207782
It's because Google learned that if they show you what you're looking for you leave their site so they can't make any more money.
So instead they try to tease you with results that are close but not what you really needed making you spend more time searching and watching ads.

It's like a doctor who knows the right diagnosis immediately but still performs a whole load of expensive medical tests to pay the bills.

this, I only use rss to watch content from channels I'm subscribed to. Never ever clicked on a 'recommended' video in the last 5+ years or so.
Nowadays I use https://freetubeapp.io/ previously I was just using mpv + thunderbird for rss feed

but yeah, youtube had no issue promoting slop to everyone. now they're worried because they won't be able to make as much money by keeping people hooked for hours of binge watching, since for once they may be forced to promote higher quality content

NGL, this is actually based. Algoritms are the backbone of these business and they will openly exploit psychological flaws in people to get them hooked to crap on youtube.

their entire country is a dystopian shithole. wave your flag outside? get arrested. say something bad about immigration on social media? get arrested. get stabbed by a jeet? get arrested and die on the way cause the police won't call an ambulance despite you telling them you've been stabbed. get attacked by a bunch of feral nogs in public? police standing there watching. get arrested while the nogs go about scott free. most of the real estate in london is jeet owned. People love to joke about sweden YES. but in reality UK is the biggest fucking most pathetic country on planet earth.

Yeah every /g/oy is meatriding youtube when they're a fucking dogshit company with their own agendas. Most governments should put their foot down on content algorithm, its dangerous to let private companies basically control a countries mood
>>
>>109207736
thats why they're using the power of the law to extend and embed their own media into things like youtube so they can then say watching youtube straight up requires a loicence. they've already made it illegal for kids to watch YouTube. they've already blocked porn without showing ID. they're already looking at making all VPN providers follow the same verification processes. how do you not see this?
>>
>>109207769
yeah. they're essentially nationalising Google's (and in general) data mining operations for their own purposes. Google is pissed because they'd much rather run the show and have governments come to *them* asking for data, for a fee, of course.
>>
>>109208656
there's not really a "why", it's just a peculiar cultural aspect of the bongs that makes them particularly susceptible to that kind of control. there's a reason 1984 and V for Vendetta take place in Britain - none of this is new and shouldnt be surprising to anyone.
>>
>>109210969
>its dangerous to let private companies basically control a countries mood
quite right. we should aim to minimise the emotional impact private platforms on the Internet are able to inflict upon the public. we simply cannot afford to have large crowds of people upset about some kind of incident in our country. that might cause discontent and possibly even riots. we must reassert control over the internet and its platforms to ensure emotional impact is minimised, to punish those who spread demoralising and upsetting misinformation and to ensure a brighter future for our country.

So when this fails, and people do not watch britslop like the BBC because it's total slop, what next?
It looks like their plan is to just charge you for your propaganda whether or not you even watch it
But clearly they are very upset that people trust twitter more than the BBC

I don't give a flying fuck about some Corponigger.

Most importantly I do not give a fuck about some Government that wants to take control of some Corponigger Platform.

But the most important thing is that you need to go back, kill yourself and take every e-celeb with you retarded fucking faggot.

So what's stopping youtube, a private company, from deleting the bbc channel? They would technically still be within the law.
