Honestly, it doesn't surprise me, but I had no idea this was actually a thing. But now I understand why on Facebook you can filter by "All comments", "Newest comments", or "Relevant Comments." And why it is automatically set to relevant comments, and how the relevant comments are not always the most liked or the one with the most comments attached to it...
Social media is reinforcing “confirmation bias”. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. Very divisive & very socially & politically dangerous.
I wrote a paper on this in college. This filtering is built into every major search engine and social media platform, so everything you consume was curated to what they think you'll respond to while limiting everything else and never letting you organically hear opposing opinions. The worst part is that people respond the most when they're angry, so now we're being distracted with all this pointless/misleading stuff that is designed to piss you off instead of using the internet as a tool to uncover the truth for yourself. Everyone is in their own echo chamber, and it's being used to shield us from seeing the crumbling conditions of the socioeconomic state. Pray for us all.
Definitely! Even in the last bit, I frequently can't see comments even if it says there are 25 comments. AND now I can't even see my notifications so I must have annoyed someone 😅
Yeah, I've noticed RUclips doing this to me. It's putting the comments it thinks I'll agree with first. I don't care about that, I just want to gauge popular sentiment, but it won't even let me see the natural list order
This makes so much sense. There’s been times where someone would react to a video and the hate comments, but when I checked the comments of the mentioned video, there was absolutely no hateful comments! It was like we were watching two totally different videos. It’s happened many times!
Is this why people will leave comments saying “pov: you looking for the negative comments but just find the comments of people talking about the negative comments” this is actually insane that they doing this because it proves their agenda is to divide because you literally have to program the system to do it in the first place.
One trick to see more than just the glowing "top comments," is to also check "newest comments." That's like the backdoor to the unfiltered comments section.
But also that channel could be deleting the negative comments they get. Lots of channels do that. Some even stop the comments until they go through them and then post them so you only see the good ones.
@@gabim3093No. It’s when you comment something, you go back and find it’s not there. Happens to me waaaaaayyy to many times too. You see it especially if you have notifications turned on for replies.
@@gabim3093 For me, I can’t see my comments and mentions. RUclips gives me no notifications. Idk, but I don’t think it’s my settings, but I still get notifications for things I’m subscribed to.
Nuts! Now I get why I open a comment sometimes where someone says something like "I can't believe there are so many negative comments" and I don't see a single negative comment!
One of the reasons I hop around to opposing opinions on the internet 😅. Not because I agree with them,but just to neutralize by biase mind. Hear what other humans think and why they feel so passionately about their beliefs. Through it, I can exercise some grace.
Mackerel. It's mackerel. Lol. No nastiness intended. I'm often amused by people's spelling mistakes. I'm a really good speller. I suck at many other things, however, so feel free to correct me if you see me doing something incorrectly. Thank you!
@Ponzupacket RUclips is corrupt amd unfair and Dishonest absolutely but this is a far cry from Social Media your not opening up your identity and feelings to the whole world and neither is this platform addictive to the least bit for normies.
@actsismmljcorrectlyobeyed6190 ok explain why youtube shorts is different than instagram reels and if neither are social media to you why did you bring it up?
As Christians, we are commanded to practice self-control. Many don't see that "restraint of tongue and pen" as a way to avoid quick-tempered criticism and furious power-driven argument.Social media is an emotional booby trap baited with pride and vengefulness. "We can neither think nor act to good purpose until the habit of self-restraint has become automatic".
Knowing this actually makes me feel a lot more hopeful. Especially about seeing a trent from men straight up just hating women on every level in social media. It makes so much sense too. When I'm in the real world I mostly incounter good men who have a normal perspective of women in general. Online the majority of comments are ugly, sinful and sexist (and I don't use thst term lightly).
In the real world some times men have an agenda, They know if they don't behave women will not cooperate,So they fake it for for the sake of their agenda, Women think men "respect " them,I guess that's why men are going over seas to look for a woman with morals to marry, Blessings always ❤️
It's because it's deceiving and dividing. We are being judged and divided into groups who only get specific information. We came to the web to learn and share, not to be deceived. We make decisions based on reactions to these vids. 'Will this life hack work?' 'Should I say this to my boss?' Etc
I've noticed that the world seems so much more divided in media than in real life. I'm a relatively conservative Christian, but my closest friends could not be any more different. And we can have civil disagreements but still have a lot of love for each other. We just need to go back to primarily socializing in person again.
I mean Facebook was sued for this for putting people in a “study” without their consent they wanted to see how people would react over time if all they were shown was the negative posts and news articles. Then another random group of people they chose only saw happy news articles and happy/cute post.
I was new to it but God had it on my heart to get off of Facebook and I hesitated. Then I started getting spillover on messenger - people who saw me on Facebook and tried to reach out to me via messenger, mostly men asking me out, even proposing marriage. One teenager said he'd kill himself if I didn't take his virginity. I'm not a sex kitten, just a mom, old enough to be a grandma. Not wanting to be rude I politely turned them down, I'd left a twenty five year marriage and wasn't familiar with dating or social media, nor has anyone told me about securing my phone. Well turning down a date gives them an in- and it makes people angry. I spent my birthday at a police station with my phone, showing them my threats of rape, torture and murder. This man listed things he was going to do to me, acts of torture I couldn't have dreamed up in my worst nightmare. The depravity of the human mind shocked me. But that's what happens when you put yourself out there. I also realized how much time I was wasting and that I was boosting my own self worth, ego- and dopamine levels- using the superficial opinion of unvetted, even evil, strangers. I shut it all down and I haven't looked back since. I see why it's popular, our inherent need to connect, seeking validation. But we should do so physically in reality, not virtual reality.
Its the first thing they ask when you sign up for an account, along with age and phone (which both reaffirms location/previous addresses bc of area code (which can then estimate political affiliation, income,etc))
Oh honey, they know a lot more about you than just your gender. Be careful because it's not just politics; they can also manipulate you into buying products you don't need. I have legit saved so much money since deleting Instagram 😂 no more perfectly curated videos to get me to want the latest lip balm, face serum, or Stanely cup 😅
So very true. That's why its crazy to see children with their nose in their phones way too much. Going ourside is no longer an interest, looking out your window when being driven anywhere isn't a interest, having the phones at meal time, watching TV, even going to the restroom which is the worst....very toxic indeed. Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
That is one of the reasons I don't use TikTok. The parent company is Chinese and the CCP wants to cause disruption and division in the West. Finding the truth requires us to come together and talk things through. But they want us separate on our phones.
People eat and breathe all the outlets - Facebook, Instagram, Tic-toc, X, - all gossip lines - remember the days decades ago having the party line on your house phone - always people looking or obsessed with someone’s else life but can’t seem to be grounded in their own life.
My husband started sweating because I was getting LOADS of divorce advice in advertisements for lawyers, and TONS of Tinder & Bumble advertisements. 😂 He was nervously laughing it off, and I started laughing, and was like, “Yeah, I know, it’s crazy! Some are annoying, I block them, and they say it’s recommended by my age and gender. Some are hotel ads, that just straight up 💩 on parenthood, and it’s so obvious the creators aren’t parents. It actually enrages me. They act so superior for offering child-free hotel experiences, as if it makes a difference. Just raise your kids right, and they won’t annoy you.“ 😂 He laughed and agreed with me, having seen the ads that constantly 💩 on parenthood as if it’s so awful, he agreed that they are so out of touch with reality. It’s so odd to be insulted by a commercial clearly made by people with no experience with such a matter. The problems they list are not problems for anyone. Just common sense stuff parents don’t even think on… it’s laughable that they think we are so bothered and unhappy.
Wow!!! That would explain why my husband has NO idea what I’m talking about when I express my concern for the obvious psyop that is the modern gender divide.
Yea the algorithm has us trapped. The only thing I k ow to do is make sure to watch a few opposing videos to confuse the algorithms for awhile. The only thing is I have to read unfounded, horrible, nasty comments about my peers.
Wow this is the most important post I've seen all year! How apropos that it's on your platform, telling me God sent me here to learn this. This is the demon of perdition, stoking the flames of anger and division and affirming self righteous indignation. We waste so much time in comments, thinking we might make a difference, and it's probably an argument with Ai (aka a demon) while we could be out there living in the moment with loved ones- in person... swallowing our foolish pride, loving and getting along
Same. If you read the comments you'll see that we are not the only ones. At least we're some of the first. Proving that God put this information in our path because we are His trumpets of truth. Sound the alarm.
when i said this 10 years ago i was crazy, they count on you not knowing how to use f12, they count on people thinking this is waaaay to complicated it cant possibly work like that
Based on the kind of content/comments I see, I think I've successfully convinced RUclips that I'm a resentful white gym bro who occasionally likes to cook & clean... The possibility of being a woman interested in understanding what I don't, working on skills that I don't possess, and uninterested in vindictive tribalist victum-hood content seems unrealistic, yes, I must be a white man
I've been considering making a new account and completely going against my own beliefs so that I can see what other people are seeing. It's scary that you don't even get to choose to be in your echo chamber. They just shove you in there.
This is why everyone would be defending a video and talking about the creator” not listening to the horrible comments” but you never find the horrible comments
It’s not social media, it’s that the algorithm picks up on and tracks everything you do, so when you read comments and you pause on one, the algorithm knows those comments will keep you on the app longer in the future. Same as if you watch the entire short vs half vs 5 seconds vs immediately scrolling even though you only spent an additional 5 seconds on one of the videos you will suddenly see more just like it because the algorithm is seeing if you will watch the next one longer. Yes algorithms have presets, but the more time you spend on the app the more customized your feed is to your personal algorithm. Disliking as telling the app not to show you something made you interact more with the app, so those videos will also be increased.
Have you NOT noticed that America, in general, has been doing this for MANT years? Keeping us separated stops us from coming together and VOTING THEM OUT!! Thats both sides of the isle.
Well, I’m in Canada for a month from New York and it’s crazy how different the stuff I’m being fed here than America. Propaganda on both sides quite frankly.
😅 I homeschool my kids, and we are doing a coding class, they finally understand why they don't have electronics of their own. No TVs, no cell phones, and their laptops stay in the dining room where we do our work. Not all kids are being subjected to all of that crazy stuff, and that should give everyone a little hope.
When the dating scene drastically changed from five years ago and how the politically divide increased dramatically to where work places became hostile, I knew social media was deliberately separating a dividing society. For dating I think its an attack on building American ‘families’ and society growth on a massive scale. Its dividing citizens creating chaos. I miss the days when TV commercials and programs had ratings and were restricted for what content they can show as youtube and social media doesn't have this. Its horrifying the images I've see that I was not expecting. Commercial sounds are very loud compared to the free program on you tube and there is no one to complaint to about it to fix it.
Lets be honest here, social media RELIES on algorithms to present someone with content they are most likely to interact with. The bigger worry i would have is why my bfs algorithm is pushing the comments that differ so far from mine. Its not part of the companies master plan, its a terrible side effect of trying to streamline personalization of content.
True... i made a comment & my comment disappeared and i had to write it 2 times and it never showed.. then i wrote something else and it showed... I thought i was going crazy
I’ve noticed this same thing with my sister and I. In my feed when something about the Israel Palestine issue comes up I see loads of pro Palestine comments. When my sister does the same, they are mostly pro Israel. This is all to make us behave a certain way and honestly it’s a little scary how it can be so different. I don’t even seek out those videos
So.... (on only Tik Tok?) not only do you get a specialized video feed, but along with algorithmic bias, you get a SPECIALIZED COMMENT-CONTENT FEED/prioritization?!!! That is alarming.
Huh...now those questions I get from RUclips about weather or not I liked a comment makes more sense now Im glad I usually ignore em now Imma completely ignore it.
This has been happening since social media became a thing. There are some benefits from social media and there are some drawbacks and very negative harmful things from social media. You have to take the bad with the good. We should focus more on the good and stop letting the bad have no appropriate and deserved consequences.
If you are reading this we agree that American people actually are not evil. We love each other. I’m from California and while I hate small talk, I do love seeing my fellow Americans prosper. I don’t care about race or religion or politics
It's happening on other platforms as well. It has been happening on youtube for awhile. I've had the experience of watching videos where the top comments are something along the line of "ughh why are all comments so negative? people need to be more kind to eachother" etc, but then looking the rest of the comments - all are supportive. So imagine if, when you write negative comments on youtube and all you see are negative comments, or just comments that are tilted towards your preconceived opinions about things. You will get more of what you give out. It's almost like living in darkness and not experiencing anything other than darkness, because you are not exposed to any other kind of opinions than your own.
I was ignorant enough to think we all saw the same comments. This is despicable.
Truly despicable
Me, too. I didn't realize this was a thing.
Me too 😮
Same here....I am appalled 😮😮

I think its funny people say LOL instead of just laughing... Like on'Hot Tub Time Machine' they just say High Give... Hahahaha😂
They're in the business of control
Division keeps us fighting eachother so we dont fight them
My husband and I see the same comments on videos we share to one another...
It's a simple explanation. One is showing "popular comments,"and the other has "recent comments."
I’m officially done going to the comments… after this comment.
This is why everyone would be defending a video and talking about the creator” not listening to the horrible comments” but you never find the horrible comments
WOW every time I think we can't go any lower, a new more diabolical level is found 😮
But WHY?!!
I honestly wish social media was never invented sometimes..it’s generating so much hate and animosity
It’s not social media, it’s that the algorithm picks up on and tracks everything you do, so when you read comments and you pause on one, the algorithm knows those comments will keep you on the app longer in the future. Same as if you watch the entire short vs half vs 5 seconds vs immediately scrolling even though you only spent an additional 5 seconds on one of the videos you will suddenly see more just like it because the algorithm is seeing if you will watch the next one longer. Yes algorithms have presets, but the more time you spend on the app the more customized your feed is to your personal algorithm. Disliking as telling the app not to show you something made you interact more with the app, so those videos will also be increased.
"What a toxic mess" gave the same vibes as "Oahh my gaaaahd look at that shiiiiip" 😂 IYKYK
The Center for Humane Technology has been talking about this for a while. You should try to have them on your Podcast.
Has anyone verified this? I don't take people at their word on things like this.
I've witnessed it myself. RUclips even does this albeit at a less obvious level.
Have you NOT noticed that America, in general, has been doing this for MANT years? Keeping us separated stops us from coming together and VOTING THEM OUT!! Thats both sides of the isle.
Well, I’m in Canada for a month from New York and it’s crazy how different the stuff I’m being fed here than America. Propaganda on both sides quite frankly.
No doubt! And our kids are face planted into it on their devices!!!
😅 I homeschool my kids, and we are doing a coding class, they finally understand why they don't have electronics of their own. No TVs, no cell phones, and their laptops stay in the dining room where we do our work. Not all kids are being subjected to all of that crazy stuff, and that should give everyone a little hope.
When the dating scene drastically changed from five years ago and how the politically divide increased dramatically to where work places became hostile, I knew social media was deliberately separating a dividing society. For dating I think its an attack on building American ‘families’ and society growth on a massive scale. Its dividing citizens creating chaos.
I miss the days when TV commercials and programs had ratings and were restricted for what content they can show as youtube and social media doesn't have this. Its horrifying the images I've see that I was not expecting.
Commercial sounds are very loud compared to the free program on you tube and there is no one to complaint to about it to fix it.
I never even considered how they might customize the comments section 😳
Not surprised , what do we expect from social media in 2024 haha
Lets be honest here, social media RELIES on algorithms to present someone with content they are most likely to interact with.
The bigger worry i would have is why my bfs algorithm is pushing the comments that differ so far from mine.
Its not part of the companies master plan, its a terrible side effect of trying to streamline personalization of content.
Duh. It’s antiSocial Media. It’s why I completely dropped it in ‘14.
Bro this is crazy
I doubt if they're changing comments, but changing the priority based upon the user.
True... i made a comment & my comment disappeared and i had to write it 2 times and it never showed.. then i wrote something else and it showed...
I thought i was going crazy
I’ve noticed this same thing with my sister and I. In my feed when something about the Israel Palestine issue comes up I see loads of pro Palestine comments. When my sister does the same, they are mostly pro Israel. This is all to make us behave a certain way and honestly it’s a little scary how it can be so different. I don’t even seek out those videos
that is INSANE
So.... (on only Tik Tok?) not only do you get a specialized video feed, but along with algorithmic bias, you get a SPECIALIZED COMMENT-CONTENT FEED/prioritization?!!! That is alarming.
Huh...now those questions I get from RUclips about weather or not I liked a comment makes more sense now Im glad I usually ignore em now Imma completely ignore it.
This has been happening since social media became a thing. There are some benefits from social media and there are some drawbacks and very negative harmful things from social media. You have to take the bad with the good. We should focus more on the good and stop letting the bad have no appropriate and deserved consequences.
Same vid and they get diffrent comments?? That's so messed up. Why am i even surprised any more😒
If you are reading this we agree that American people actually are not evil. We love each other. I’m from California and while I hate small talk, I do love seeing my fellow Americans prosper. I don’t care about race or religion or politics
Social engineering from a Chinese government run company, the more divided we are the better for them.
Internet is the modern day Plato’s Cave.
That’s a perfect example of why no one should be on that platform and why the US is banning it. Wake up peeps
It's happening on other platforms as well. It has been happening on youtube for awhile. I've had the experience of watching videos where the top comments are something along the line of "ughh why are all comments so negative? people need to be more kind to eachother" etc, but then looking the rest of the comments - all are supportive. So imagine if, when you write negative comments on youtube and all you see are negative comments, or just comments that are tilted towards your preconceived opinions about things. You will get more of what you give out. It's almost like living in darkness and not experiencing anything other than darkness, because you are not exposed to any other kind of opinions than your own.
