Found this article pretty funny, this journalism must be pretty dense or selectively ignorant on YouTube's rabbit hole algorithm.
They play shocked when after an hour of going through random videos they get one about Andrew Tate.
Also I'm pretty sure you select what videos to watch on YT shorts, so the fact that they're getting more and more as the experiment continues- it just shows that they had a bias of selecting the ones they wanted to prove a point with.
And I also find it pretty funny that it isn't just Andrew Tate and his brother who are banned, it's him entirely even if it's a proxy person uploading clips which have him in it. Absolutely mental
Yet, I wonder why they'll never do this with a 13 year old girl. Maybe girls transing themselves from YT propaganda isn't good news yet?
And which role models did boys have 20-30 years ago? It's honestly not that different.
I don't recall thinking any famous man was a good role model for me. The men that were I knew from private stuff (family, friends, sport clubs, ...).
I think the difference is that there's now active sabotage of young boys & men. As soon as someone doesn't follow the party line they get ostracized.
Some could argue that actors and some TV personalities back then could be classed as role models.
But back then it was before the push of feminised men, so you still had your family role models which were backed up by those. Now if all people consume is media, these soft men will be pushed as being more norm and the family role models as the minority.
But I agree, it's usually family where the best role models come from.
