You will never see a more disgusting place than YouTube. An algorithm that pushes the most disgusting content like gore and trauma and the comment section of even the most benign video will have some chud shitting on feminists or whatever with a million updoots. Absolute shithole of a content farm website.

[Sexism] I was just watching a wholesome video of a rooster protecting the flock from a hawk, and the highest comment was like “Hurr duurrr I bet this triggers feminists seeing hens run in fear while the rooster takes charge.”

Bruh, no, what is triggering is how illiterate misogynists are about the animal world. Imagine choosing hens as your proof that women are weak. Hens, the gender of chickens that also attack predators regularly. Hens, the gender of chickens that are where scientists came up with the term ‘Alpha’. Hens, the gender of chickens that can literally change their gender.

link because I’m not a lib, this person deserves bullying tbh but I doubt it’s worth wasting time on

And then, to top it all off, in the recommendeds was a thumbnail of a real picture of a squirrel gored up after being shot with a pellet gun, with the title “Watch this before YouTube deletes it” smuglord

So yeah, youtube is fucked up trash.

    I’m of the opposite opinion. I think Reddit is worse than Youtube. Youtube comments tends to stay on topic, for lack of a better word, while Reddit would always find ways to cram their reactionary bullshit. Youtube comments on a video about knitting would just be about knitting while Reddit comments on a Reddit post about knitting would somehow find ways to shoehorn how China is evil or various other US state department talking points. Plus, Youtube is a lot more international than Reddit, which is full of Anglos.

      sometimes i wonder how the fuck those reddit comment threads devolve like that and then i remember the site is basically ran by the CIA and military intelligence

      it just seems so unnatural and weird especially for what’s generally thought of as a “hobby website/forum”

      Redditors also think they’re smarter than everybody else, when in actual fact they might just be dumber, because there is enough information posted on Reddit by nerds and people qualified in their fields on mainstream subreddits, that the general redditor should know better.

      Case in point: Redditors on the formula one subreddit downvoting actual verified formula one engineers because they went against the Reddit narrative. Redditors on the soccer subreddit not knowing the basic rules of the game
