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 being a real boomer here, but facebook (and by extension Instagram) is easily the worst place on the internet for me. I can't curate my content in any way and most of what I get on my feed is garbage mainstream "culture" war bullshit and libertarian pages. Like I get 20 different libertarian/right-wing posts recommended to me for every one leftest post. And I know I have high school/work acquaintances that are right wingers, but I know it can't be significantly more than the average lib or leftists that I know..

      Yeah FB was by far the easiest platform to drop, even without the realization people I knew irl were raving fascists it just got anxiety inducing checking what I said because it might turn up on someone's feed.

        LinkedIn is amazing — I never knew so many of my highschool classmates would grow up to be CEOs and company presidents!
