    Guess we're going to have to watch in real time as @elonmusk learns all the obvious content moderation lessons from the last decade. The fact that he's starting at "ban Hitler fans" suggests this is going to be a slow, painful process.

    Me too. The possibility of me meeting Hunter Biden is not zero so I would like to know if my first line should be off his dick or a mirror. You don't want to blow that and come up short just in case Hunter is stingy with the coke.

    Elon Musk is doing a livestream on Youtube right now.

    I made the mistake of clicking on it, because the title of the video is:

    "URGENT Message To NASA For Artemis-1 Mission!"

    It has nothing to do with any SpaceX or NASA stuff, and is all about Musk shilling Bitcoin.

    Jesus Effing Christ. :jayzus:

    All they have to do is turn on "self-driving"...of course the problem is the innocent bystanders they could take with them. :bergman:

    Congrats, you clicked on a spam account.

    Since Musk has a known affinity with crypto currency they are extremely common. They'll list a topic related to space or cars, and then include clips of Musk, some real, some faked.

    Sometimes they'll take a real video of Musk watching/reacting to something, and include it with someone else talking about their scam, with Musk seeming in the conference call nodding along.

    :facepalm:

    It's that idiot Federal Farmer. I've clicked on a few of his Youtube links and it's completely borked my recommendations. :mad:

    (Not joking.)

    Recommendations in an individual Youtube video, cursor hover next to the thumbnail until the three little dots pop up, click the dots, then click "do not recommend channel".
    Repeat as necessary until the mind-poison is gone.

    Same procedure for recommends on the YT home page, but the dots are under the thumbnail instead of beside.

    There's no trick for sifting that shit out of search results, you just have to kill it enough in vids and home.
    One trick I did find though, but it actually involves wading into the shit.
    Click open a shit video, pause it, the recommends on the sidebar will be more shit from the same shit channel, and then do the "do not recommend this channel" from there.
    Do that enough, and the fashy scum stops popping up in search. Eventually.

    It's like zapping Space Invaders, or Centipede pieces, they put up a fight.

    Watch the shit through a human filter, and stop looking for every POS you can find.

    Honest question, why do you watch the shitshow yourself? I may miss some gems in the muck, but how much time do you guys spend looking through all that shit?

    OMG, never hate watch something. This is the biggest advice I can give. I trust that every night Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and so on are saying the same fucking thing as always. Let other people Mine their broadcasts for the points, and then you can go back and get the context if you need to.
