I never click on them and I don’t consume any other content related to those countries but every so often I’ll see an anti (those countries) headline in my feed and then the next few days will have pro occupied China stories

It feels like targeted propaganda since I never see good stories about the other countries and it makes me wonder why YouTube hasn’t been broken up if they are too big to monitor that

      I can find an anti-China video:

      Meanwhile your source is… Fucking Wikipedia lmfao. The article isn’t even cited properly given that it mentions 3 sources and only links to two. There’s a reason Wikipedia isn’t considered a reliable source.

        My source was myself, I gave you Wikipedia to let you click through to more than one source of other opinions

        Stop being an idiot

          I’m an idiot because I gave you videos contrary to your point? How is it my fault that Google thinks you’re on an anti-Japan/anti-Korean binge?

          Not everything is a conspiracy against you. Google thought that those recommendations would get you to think about YouTube more (and eventually watch more content). Judging by your behaviour, I’m guessing it was right.

              Ah yes, because you refuse to see evidence contradicting your point (i.e. first party source) and choose to hide behind second- and third-party “sources.”

              Classic.

                It was faster for me to post 1 link that already had 2 links on it than it was for me to post those 2 links and I over estimated your intelligence in being able to click through

                  Those links still aren’t first-party sources, though? Either way, I quoted from that article and I did provide first-party evidence, neither of which you have addressed. There is nothing to indicate that, as you claim, SCMP only posts pro-China and anti-Korea/anti-Japan content.

                  Do you enjoy being confidently wrong, or do you just enjoy being confident and are wrong by circumstance?

                    Increasing tourism isn’t anti-ccp

                    Phone harassment maybe but it’s a stretch to think someone seeing that is going to think it is state sponsored

                    Falling housing market is just normal news

                    Unemployment is just normal news
