I always thought my algorithm was filtering the rightwing media and I am aware that there’s a giant traffic happening on the other side.

I was checking on Tommy robinson’s “documentaries” and noticed that they were hosted on rumble. Heard the site before but never bothered to check tbh.

And it’s as you’ve expected. On the paper it’s like YouTube rejects. It’s spitting out only political crap. It’s scarily what exactly same formula I am seeing on my feed. and I’m sure your feed too. People reacting to unintelligible people, roasting them, a face watching trump and wowing or aoc and mocking them. The shit are quite low blow. Ofc they are- but the point I wanna make is the view counts on the page. Some of them are millions. That isn’t a “YouTube reject” number. That IS YouTube number. So these websites are probably funded by tech giants and at this point I feel like we’re trying to fight a war already lost. This is about fighting rich people who can “purchase” power with 0 money. For f sake, Elon literally purchased afd to win in Germany.

I am starting to think that we should be using these racist platforms more. To see and be aware what the fuck is happening outside our filter bubble. I don’t know how effective that would be though (because at the end of the day politics are just attention economy rather than prosperity)
