Youtube science garbare regarding cern
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Does anyone know what is up with the giant pile of shit when you try to look up anything related to cern. Its like I'm looking up "area 51" or something.
Apparently there's a bunch of such channels that have all their content generated by bots: not just the title, but the footages and voiceover as well. They're all clickbaits with content ranging from simple word salad to blatant misinformation. Kyle Hill made a video about it where he tried to find who was/were behind these channels (spoiler alert: he tried to report the channels to youtube and got his own video striked in return)

It's not just science-related videos either; I recently saw a video about the Taurus returning to Ford's lineup, despite the car existing only as a rebadged Mondeo in the Chinese market now, and no such announcements being made anywhere for it to return to the US market
I really wish there was a viable alternative to youtube, it's the only google product I consciously use and it's pure trash
TAURUS! Now there's an American car with a shape and a feel we've never seen before! TAURUS! Now there is a personal car with exactly what we've been looking for! TAURUS!
Sorry I can't get that out of my head so many years later.
No, I get it, that song gets lodged in my head all the time too, hi-five
…sometimes, I’ll sing it to myself, raising my hand into the air as I reach the end of the line, and close it into a fist on the “Taurus!” part, like it’s some kind of overly dramatic Broadway horseshit
A viable alternative to YouTube is impossible unless it was managed by a state, pretty much. The infrastructure required is immense.
Woah. Well this is terrifying
