Title: Can You Believe YouTube Caused the Rise in Flat-Earthers? (*MSM and PTB Institutions Panicking That Truth Is Leaking Like A Sieve On YT*)

When YouTube said earlier this year that it would “begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways,” people praised the decision.

A certain ex-engineer called it a “historic victory” on Twitter and applauded the company for making such a move, possibly at a great expense to its business model. Which … ha. Among the types of videos YouTube said it would cut back on recommending was flat-Earth content. As in, videos peddling the idea that the Earth is not, as science has repeatedly proven, round. And while I’m all for quashing the spread of truly wrongheaded and potentially dangerous ideas, in the case of flat-Earth indoctrination, the damage has long since been done.

Researchers from Texas Tech University believe they’ve isolated YouTube videos as ground zero for the spread of flat-earth theories, The Guardian reports. Speaking with attendees at the biggest annual gathering of flat-Earthers both in 2017 and 2018, the research team found that people who fell into the world of the flat Earth were often those who were already spending time on YouTube watching other conspiracy videos (about 9/11, for example).

This feedback loop — where watching conspiracy videos leads to being shown more conspiracy videos, which in turn motivates creators to make more conspiracy content — was also cited by the above-mentioned ex-YouTube engineer. It’s that circle that has enabled flat-Earth content to thrive. Researchers said one of the most popular videos is a nearly two-hour-long piece that details myriad reasons why, if you’re smart enough to think beyond what has been crammed into your brain by society for your whole life, the Earth is so obviously flat.

Flat-Earthers might seem like a joke, but the jumps from “the Earth isn’t round” to “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” to “science isn’t real” to “vaccines are harmful” are easy ones to make. (As noted by the TTU team and the ex-YouTube engineer, conspiracy theorists online tend not to buy into just one conspiracy.) Normalizing such ideas is dangerous.

In 2018, Logan Paul — the one who filmed the dead body, not the other one — was the keynote speaker at the second annual Flat Earth Conference in Denver, Colorado. Though he told a reporter at the event he does not actually believe the Earth is flat, Paul stood up in front of the audience and said he was “coming out of the flat-Earth closet” during a speech he was ostensibly paid to give.

Endorsing bogus theories in bad faith — but which are taken very seriously by others, and all the more so with the lending (or buying) of Paul’s name — makes Paul complicit in the spread of potentially dangerous flat-Earth nonsense and, more harrowingly, its co-ideologies. YouTube, with its years of doing the bare minimum to, well, do nothing to curb the spread of such ideas, is even more complicit. No amount of back-changes will right that.


Poster Comment:

HUH?? Which "people" "Praised the decision" -- and WHY?? ALL BS.

First of all, the "Logan Paul" mentioned in the article was exposed as an asset of the OPPOSITION. He was a mercenary, paid to pretend he was an advocate of FE, actually intending all along to make a mockery of Flat Earth theory. This is how feared Flat Earth theory now is, and how desperate these people are.

That said...

I wanted to post this "analysis" and lame attempt at damage-control and panic from a "respected" MSM source (aren't they all? HAH!.)

This reverse psychology, spin and messaging of this article and monopoly of the message is all they've got -- which is notably alarming, and patently false, presenting THE actual danger on several levels.

The argument is silly, hysterical panicky and intellectually dishonest. And still...it will actually be taken seriously. At face value.

Initially, we have the acknowledgement that YouTube/G00gle is "REDUCING," CENSORING, BANNING, AND OTHERWISE ELIMINATING what it terms as "borderline harmful" that "could mis-inform in many ways." (Meanwhile, ALL kinds of sick, twisted sexual/violence porno remains available online for FREE, and NOT considered "harmful" or "dangerous." But that's another story.)

"Misinformation" they say? Sorta like..."RUSSIA-GATE"?? "White-Privilege"?? "Toxic-Masculinity"? "Nothing-To-See-At-The-Las Vegas-Slaughter?")

Then there's the notion and hilarious attempt at portraying the false premise that Flat Earth theory is "dangerous." (How so? Really. Especially IF as claimed, it's so "kooky"?)

We also have NY Mag trying to conflate and convince its readers that Flat Earth as well as ANY and ALL "conspiracy Theories" like Vaccines (or Evolution, the 911 Operation, various gun-related mass shootings/proven theater like Sandy Hook, Chemtrails, Moon-Landings, or data that proves 0bama's lack of a Birth Cert) are "dangerous" and "harmful misinformation."

"Flat Earth -- REALLY?? Naah. No Sale. So what's really going on here?

How much integrity, credibility and commitment to the truth of ANY given subject is logically and honestly warranted when discussing the Mainstream Media? WHY should this article and analysis be trust TO ANY DEGREE??

And again -- IF you can explain YOUR own CT theory -- please advise the forum here as to ANY reason Flat Earth Theory OR ANY other aforementioned theories should be considered "dangerous" and "harmful". (OR...is the real "danger" that the MSM and GOVT Lies will no longer be believed??)

Like NY Magazine, are you and others REALLY saying: "I am a "victim" of "CTs!! They are traumatizing me. No other other opinions and theories about science, history, and...life itself should be aired!

By agreeing with YouTube and the same Mainstream Media that lies about EVERYTHING, aren't YOU "complicit"?

The Powers That Be are trying hard to restrict ALL investigations into any and ALL truth beyond the established "scientific and historical" narratives,

Do we get a new sun each day?

Why is Alaska sometimes totally dark for months?

This is a conceptualization of the For Seasons as well as placement of the Sun in the Southern Hemi-Disk as well Northern Hemi-Disk.

You should be able to see how and why both polar regions receive All or NO sun during their respect extreme seasons.

This is so obviously flawed on at least a few fronts Liberator, but I'll focus on only one as if I do more than that, the strongest criticism will be lost in the shuffle.

In this model where the sun simply moves spins in a circle above the flat earth, the sun NEVER drops below the horizon or rise above it, as we see EVERY night and day. In fact, if the earth was flat and the sun did drop below the horizon, it would do so for the entire flat earth at virtually the SAME TIME which you've already agreed does not happen.

No offense, but a a first grader could grasp this reality. Literally. All it takes is a flashlight, a volley ball and a frisbee to do a simple demonstration.
