Do you know all those youtube links etc Mickey posts?
this is what he's trying to do

so let's begin, shall we?
knowledge is truly the best weapon to arm yourself with, they prey on the ignorance of how algorithms work to spread hate while pretending he doesn't know why its always about nazis
Algorithmic radicalization (or radicalization pipeline) is the concept that algorithms on popular social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook drive users toward progressively more extreme content over time, leading to them developing radicalized extremist political views.
Algorithms record user interactions, from likes/dislikes to the amount of time spent on posts, to generate endless media aimed to keep users engaged. Through echo chamber channels, the consumer is driven to be more polarized through preferences in media and self-confirmation.[1][2][3][4]
he posts all these videos so that the algorithm thinks you like them, and then starts feeding you more to hook you deeper...
Algorithmic radicalization remains a controversial phenomenon as it is often not in the best interest of social media companies to remove echo chamber channels.[5][6]
Though social media companies have admitted to algorithmic radicalization's existence, it remains unclear how each will manage this growing threat.
An echo chamber is formed when users come across beliefs that magnify or reinforce their thoughts and form a group of like-minded users in a closed system.[7]
The issue with echo chambers is that it spreads information without any opposing beliefs and can lead to confirmation bias. According to a group polarization theory, an echo chamber can potentially lead users and groups towards more extreme radicalized positions.[8]
According to the National Library of Medicine, “Users online tend to prefer information adhering to their worldviews, ignore dissenting information, and form polarized groups around shared narratives. Furthermore, when polarization is high, misinformation quickly proliferates"[9]
YouTube’s algorithm
YouTube has been around since 2005 and has more than 2.5 billion monthly users. YouTube discovery content systems focus on the user’s activity (watched, favourites, likes) to direct them to recommended content.
YouTube’s algorithm is accountable for roughly 70% of users' recommended videos and is what drives people to watch certain content.[17]
According to a new study, users have little power to keep unsolicited videos out of their suggested recommended content.
This includes videos about hate speech, live streams, etc. [18]
YouTube has been identified as an influential platform for spreading radicalized content.
Al-Qaeda and similar extremist groups have been linked to using YouTube for recruitment videos and engaging with international media outlets.
In a research study published by the American Behavioral Scientist Journal, they researched “whether it is possible to identify a set of attributes that may help explain part of the YouTube algorithm’s decision-making process” [19]
The results of the study showed that YouTube’s algorithm recommendations for extremist content factor into the presence of radical keywords in a video’s title.
In February of 2023, in the case of Gonzalez v. Google, the question at hand is whether or not Google, the parent company of YouTube, is protected from lawsuits claiming that the site’s algorithms aided terrorists in recommending ISIS videos to users. Section 230 is known to generally protect online platforms from civil liability for the content posted by its users [20]

The U.S. Department of Justice defines 'Lone-wolf' (self) terrorism as "someone who acts alone in a terrorist attack without the help or encouragement of a government or a terrorist organization".[24]
Through social media outlets on the internet, 'Lone-wolf' terrorism has been on the rise, being linked to algorithmic radicalization.[25]
Through echo chambers on the internet, viewpoints typically seen as radical were accepted and quickly adopted by other extremists.[26]
These viewpoints are encouraged by forums, group chats, and social media to reinforce their beliefs.[27]
Main article: The Social Dilemma
"The Social Dilemma" was a 2020 docudrama about how algorithms behind social media enable addiction while possessing abilities to manipulate people's views, emotions, and behaviour to spread conspiracy theories and disinformation.
The film repeatedly uses buzzwords such as 'echo chambers' and 'fake news' to prove psychological manipulation on social media, therefore leading to political manipulation.
In the film, we follow Ben as he falls deeper into a social media addiction as the algorithm found that his social media page has a 62.3% chance of long-term engagement.
This leads to more videos on the recommended feed for Ben and he eventually becomes more immersed in propaganda and conspiracy theories, becoming more polarized with each video.
most likely this is being used in tandem with
Complex contagion
I mean you saw how after Moms of Liberty make a nazi post, he instantly starts amplifying their content being based while pretending to be clueless LMFAO

Social media echo chambers and filter bubbles
Social media platforms learn the interests and likes of the user to modify their experiences in their feed to keep them engaged and scrolling.
An echo chamber is formed when users come across beliefs that magnify or reinforce their thoughts and form a group of like-minded users in a closed system.[7]
The issue with echo chambers is that it spreads information without any opposing beliefs and can lead to confirmation bias. According to a group polarization theory, an echo chamber can potentially lead users and groups towards more extreme radicalized positions.[8]

Complex contagion
Complex contagion is the phenomenon in social networks in which multiple sources of exposure to innovation are required before an individual adopts the change of behaviour.[1]
remember when he was posting youtube links about how cool the nazi uniforms were?
I do
It differs from simple contagion in that unlike a disease, it may not be possible for the innovation to spread after only one incident of contact with an infected neighbour.
The spread of complex contagion across a network of people may depend on many social and economic factors; for instance, how many of one's friends adopt the new idea as well as how many of them cannot influence the individual, as well as their disposition in embracing change.
