It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

I bet somebody is paying for that shit to pop into your feed.
lots of the religious right think that if you just see it, you’re going to agree and like, you know, become one of them. Which is funny because I find those kinds of content repulsive.
(Clint’s Reptiles, though? oh yeah. dude’s a legend.)
Sad thing is it works on a lot of naive young people.
But this is because of the naivety and lack of critical thinking skills. Not because they are young.
Rather, because public education has been gutted to prevent kids from being taught such skills.
And even more egregiously, taught to be incurious. To not ask questions. To obey.
This is not just because of public education gutting. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, even in places with the highest ranked public schools on earth.
the simple truth is bombarding someone with a certain way of seeing the world makes them more likely to see the world that way. It’s propaganda, plain and simple.
That slop doesn’t work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.
I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.
Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.
Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.
Or you’ll fall for the bait, hatewatch and comment, which will help boost the video
Nope.
Right click the dots “don’t recommend this channel.”
I practically live by the “don’t recommend” options, although recently I’ve started getting “block this video/channel”, which is peculiar.
The religious zealots would HATE Clint, because he has out his rational mind and scientific literature explanation of the universe before what the Bible says
I mean, I wasn’t trying to suggest they don’t.
Just that his YT channel is alway good for a timeline cleanse.
