Algorithms Push Anger and Division When It Is Calculated To Have The Most Impact On It's Viewers

When watching this video, study and note a few things to understand a bit more about how algorithms are used to manipulate your emotions and your perception:

1. Video is on homepage/more quickly or frequently given as a suggestion.

2. Video dates. In this case, the screen recording is showing that the date of this video is posted very recently (Screen capture was recorded as of Wednesday, February 19 of 2025 at approx. 12:00pm). However, after searching for the date that this issue was officially addressed, you will find that the dates do not match, and that this incident had actually already passed back in 2023.

3. See the content creators' videos page. Notice that there are various other videos, very similar to the video that I have shown here, also recently posted.

I have watched the dates of posts closely for years, now, and it can be difficult to show viewers just how it may impact how we see or understand things. I imagine these videos are posted as such to combat the transparency that the 2025 administration has been allowing The People to have. It is likely to push back against the movement of Americans waking up, since they have, many, been so asleep during the last decade and especially the last administration. Don't let the algorithms continue to lull you to sleep and don't allow the people writing the algorithms to push or pull your thoughts, your emotions, and you perceptions any further.

*I'd like to pose some questions:

How often do people look at the dates of a video or a post? How often does an individual believe the post date to be indicating that the event was as recent as the date listed?

How often does an individual go to search for that exact hearing or video and watch it, at length, to verify the overall implications that are pushed by the video post?

Also, how often does one observe, closely, what content is cut out and how *zoomed-in the video post is? (Zooming in on a video could cut out content, not allowing the viewer to see the dates or other relevant information that may give the fullest context to the video post in question.)

What other questions can protect oneself from the deliberate manipulations that are spoon fed to the consumers of the medias available to The People?
