Is youtube under attack? (Not quite.)
Go to solution
Solved by Rugg,
So, case closed I assume.
Just two youtubers both trying to abuse an algorithm issue.
TLDR from my watching at 2x and skipping through, who youtube serves community posts to only depends on things within the post, so having random garbage will serve it to kids, vastly broadening your reach. When someone clicks on a poll answer like "just show me the answers, idk who you are" it gives them points and are more likely to be served actual videos, etc etc etc.
I don't think LTT or Josh for that matter should be doing this, purposely abusing the algorithm even if it is just to gain attention.
