This is odd to say when the YouTube algorithm has been proven to push right wing propaganda.
The concept of “conspiracies” is a bit off. It’s not a “conspiracy” when Bezos kills the Washington Post’s endorsement of Harris, or fires journalists who criticize him. YouTube doesn’t need to remove a video if the algorithm never shows it to anybody.
It is kinda crazy to imagine a secret cabal of rich people who surreptitiously run the world, rather than the well known cabal of rich people who openly run the world.
