They are already harvesting all our data, so it’s not like they aren’t getting anything out of us. And it’s not like paying them opts users out of being tracked either. So what exactly is the benefit to paying a data harvesting company that isn’t going to stop, and users are what provides them that info they need in the first place. Including their attempts at AI search that will rely on users to train it.
I read all of this and found it super interesting. It’s crazy because I’ve actually found myself making conscious decisions that play in to YouTube’s setup without even realising.
I remember watching a bunch of Ben Shapiro videos to find out who the hell he was and what he did. As a left leaning Australian his actions mean very little to me, however YouTube spent months trying to ram American right wing content down my throat.
I wonder how much google is actually responsible for the radicalisation of people during COVID, and subsequently probably death.
I’d love to hear your view. I haven’t really considered it.
