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.

    Reddit is frustrating because it's a site of people who think themselves to be intellectuals saying the stupidest shit. Youtube is full of people who know they aren't intellectuals and don't care. Combine that with organized commenting brigades and you have a right-wing cesspool. The type of people who comment usually have an axe to grind and will more likely be some kind of right-winger if they aren't a stan of the Youtuber they're watching.

    The comments on videos about the Israel-Palestine conflict have actually been better than Reddit's from what I've seen.

      What bothers me the most rn about Youtube is how sycophantic all of the comments are honestly. There's nothing related to the material unless it's like music (people argue over their fave albums) It's just "wow you are so smart :)"

        It kind of reminds me of the type of people who call into radio shows. You either get big fans or people who want to gripe and heckle.
