Prior to yesterday we covered the downsides of using YouTube, either as a mere spectator (watching videos, maybe commenting on some) or a “creator” (someone who uploads videos). As we showed yesterday, based on news from the same day, those “apps” are commendeering young people like a flock of zombies. Last night an associate of ours joked about stuff like Fentanylware (TikTok), a digital weapon built, maintained, and operated by Bytedance, which is not a social control media company but a surveillance giant:ġ) should kids be allowed to bring weapons to school?Ģ) should kids be allowed to bring unusual weapons to school?ģ) should kids be allowed to bring small weapons to school? YouTube isn’t the same anymore and recent management shuffles mean we should expect the worst to be ahead, not behind. Over a decade ago I used to upload ‘backup’ copies of videos from Techrights, putting most of them in YouTube just in case someone may want them there or find them there. The malignant effect is due to technical changes, legal/policy changes, and the underlying content. Like Twitter back in the days, YouTube had humble beginnings, but it is becoming more sinister over time.
The previous part cautioned that YouTube is becoming another Fentanylware (TikTok) - albeit one controlled primarily by the US. The parts above stand on their own and are suitably partitioned based on themes or issues. MY INTENTION with this part is to give a short summary and outline, then offer some personal conclusions, reinforced by more recent events.
