Extremely good! A “must have” podcast
It’s a very enlightening podcast of the inner workings of the most influential information transmitter in today’s world.
If you have ever found yourself in “the strange end” of YouTube, where you are suggested videos like “how aliens built the pyramids” or “this is what they don’t want you to know” (you know the type) - here is the answer to how that came to be xD
Great podcast

Interesting and alarming
Very interesting and informing podcast.
I missed some more reflection/discussion on the fact that a private Company like YouTube censor people and a discussion of who should have souch a role? - if anyone?
I also missed a discussion on what impact youtube’s strategy Can have on feeding conspiracy even more.
Also I missed some information from experts on how to seek out information/news in a Way that is “healthy” so you ore someone you Care about dont end up in the rabbit Hole.
