It can be a rough place where trolls and haters can poison the atmosphere with impunity radical cons and may be taken down but other users only put it up again right away and people who cant stand the heat may have only one option to leave their accounts but does it have to come to that abuse and huge you can hit very hard and it can hit any user as the example of Brennan Gilmore from the u.

Now in 4 wars and alex jones no longer have their own channels on you tube. It seems the site is that at least trying and is moving faster to remove content that violates the Community Guidelines still you tube continues to favor extreme use the more controversial the video the more lucrative thats how the youtube algorithm sees it as law helps to create the algorithm so he knows it inside out. French Computer Scientist left in 2013 he says the algorithms that spell you tube 6 asaad g. P. S. At best they use a deeply learning algorithm which is not official interdictions that process billions of user sessions will see which media is are going to be the most likely to keep people the names of all. The key to me is the watch time its the product of hit statistics and average running times together with the time users spend on each of the longer uses stay on the website the better for you cheap that lets the company run more ads which then add up to lots of money and. The videos that have proven most effective about those with polarizing and extreme views and recommendation algorithms play that part. Its like a vicious circle you just watch one because youre all your curious and then here goes and we recommend it again and again jews rule the world homosexuality is a. Disease and refugees rape women and steal jobs wide theories like these are hugely popular on you tube because an algorithm gives them great a exposure but why exactly are we so receptive to videos like the east why do we click on this kind of nonsense and help it to spread oliver creating as a professor of Communications Science at the university of mines and an expert on Media Innovations he explains what goes on in our heads when we spend time on you tube using. Volved to react faster to dangerous threats and insults to harmless stimuli no standard response is not a neutral but very emotional. When i read hatred and provocations on the internet for example even after all the research ive done on it i cant control myself it affects me immediately. More watch time more hits and more comments its really not surprising that you tube favors extreme content the perceived anonymity of the internet also makes it easier for users to overcome their inhibitions and say things they would never say to someone face to face with the kids meet me in years when i talk to you or i can see your response but with an abstract entity online thats no longer the case they lose part of their humanity and big problem is that weve learned we dont have to worry about being prosecuted even if we spread hate. When we ask for the you tube algorithm appeals to our lowest instincts with content we react to emotionally and spontaneously but does this fully explain the extremist tendencies on you tube the algorithms are primarily designed to increase revenues and watch time of course companies are supposed to earn money but at the expense of ethics and anyway how would programmers go about creating ethical algorithms. Algorithms are programmed by human beings humans whose prejudices and opinions flow into the programming so algorithms can never be perfectly neutral they always need ethical guidelines the rayna how much policy founded a Nonprofit Organization called the ethical texas scientists to focus. Search on the ethics of algorithms. And government can and it is that other than is cant be programmed to be ethical. But many of the methods we use assert the pendant on the data its the data that shapes the algorithms or the program that was on the study so the program has set up the scammers. And we provide the meat and the muscle. So the users actually provide the algorithms with the necessary data through their browsing habits but how is this data evaluated. The arena is demanding that the inner workings of the algorithms be opened for evaluation and regularly inspected. The youtube algorithms prioritize watch time and advertising revenues many people only watch videos that are recommended to them this is just what you tube likes to see the center this is not interested in quality their interest is primarily monetary keeping users on the site so theyll watch as much as possible and this is a man thats not necessarily policy that does that quality doesnt always have emotional reactions. But emotion is a decisive factor in you tubes Business Model many users see count videos that. Well researched facts are not the highest priority. If you tube work purely on entertainment site such issues would not be as serious. But its established as a primary source of information for society. As a fantasist not politicize and so its a political decision by the owner google as a corporation. Since its optimized for monitors asian way and not for quality it needs it. So youtube is all about watch time digital ethics can only become a factor if youtube and other Companies Make fundamental changes to their websites and theyre reluctant because the current Business Model is working all too well so questionable content will keep on popping up in our feeds no matter how extreme you tube most because that freedom of speach. Is there anything we can do about it sadly not much but if we stop opening every single sensational video we see then it will stop them being recommended to us so often if everyone did the same it might just push the use of algorithm in a generally more positive direction what do you think doesnt you tube facebook and d w dot com thats all for today take care and see you next time.
