It makes me so mad/sad that this is the modern reality for relationships. At the same time my self esteem is skyrocketing because of all the likes like a casino with bright lights and big numbers but the whole thing feels cheapened. I know there's more valid reasons to this besides the fact that idk how to text matches but I'm blanking

    Youtube's algorithm is so insidious. If you watch that video, you get recommended a video called "Tinder Experiment: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man!!!" which has 1 million views. Then from there you get recommended motivation videos, Jordan Peterson, and other alt right pipeline videos. It's so easy to see how these impressionable young guys who are alienated by capitalism go down that pipeline.

      I tend to use the do not recommend channel over and over. No idea if it helps but this is why I like my YouTube account. If I go to YouTube without it it's way to easy to be bombarded with right wing shit or reactionary content. That stuff gets huge promotion on regular youtube.
