A recommendations tweak that cut the referral views of content that "brushes right up against our policy line" in half in the US over the past six months is being rolled out across the UK, Ireland, South Africa, and "other English-language markets," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said in a quarterly letter to creators on Tuesday, patting herself on the back for what she claimed was the company's tolerance for non-mainstream views.
Comment: This woman is not right in the head.
"A commitment to openness is not easy," Wojcicki wrote, likely provoking a few spit-takes from readers.
Comment: Guess it must not be, given that you have totally failed in that commitment.
"It sometimes means leaving up content that is outside the mainstream, controversial or even offensive."
Comment: What world does she live in where doing so would be even slightly controversial? Oh yeah, Silicon Valley. The grand irony, of course, is that PC culture itself is outside the mainstream, but the PC minority has convinced itself that it is the mainstream.
But diversity of opinion "makes us a stronger and more informed society, even if we disagree with some of those views," she continued - begging the question of why YouTube feels compelled to deplatform so many outside-the-mainstream commentators even as its CEO has admitted in the past that "news or news commentary [is] a very small percentage of the number of views we have."
"Reducing the spread of borderline content" was one of "four Rs" Wojcicki claimed formed the company's framework for dealing with creators, accompanied by "remove content that violates our policy," "raise up authoritative voices," and "reward trusted, eligible creators."
