No surprise. Getting rid of Trump would help in this area. Bit late though as the damage is done. I read something the same Tyee day that said Trump had mentioned it r promoted 144 conspiracy theories since he became president. Fox News is bad as well. Yet they both said fake news in regards to the mainstream media.
Belief in conspiracy theories making it harder to control covid-19 spread.
There’s a lot more to this problem than it first seems. A huge part of the problem is YouTube creates it!! That’s right, YouTube created the problem to begin with and not because conspiracy videos are on there but because THEY promote them. Their program algorithms select videos for people that gets them sucked into the conspiracy hole in the first place. Listen and hear how a new mom can get sucked into the conspiracy hole. Give this podcast episode a listen and let me know what you think. They discuss how social media is creating this whole problem. Deeper discussion is further in.
