Researchers found that clicking on YouTube’s filters didn’t stop it from recommending disturbing videos of war footage, scary movies, or Tucker Carlson’s face.
YouTube’s algorithm recommends users videos they don’t want to see, and it’s often worse than just old Ramsay cable. A 2021 report by Mozilla, again based on crowdsourced user data, claimed that folks surfing the video platform are regularly being recommended violent content, hate speech, and political misinformation.
In this latest report, Mozilla researchers found that pairs of videos including those users rejected, like ascreed, would just result in another video from the Fox News YouTube channel being recommended. Based on a review of 40,000 video pairs, often when one channel is blocked the algorithm would simply recommend very similar videos from similar channels.
YouTube spokesperson Elena Hernandez told Gizmodo in an email statement that “Our controls do not filter out entire topics or viewpoints, as this could have negative effects for viewers, like creating echo chambers.” The company has said they don’t prevent all content from related topics from being recommended, but they also claim to push “authoritative” content while suppressing “borderline” videos that come close to violating content moderation policies.
