What do you think? …

Interesting idea. My thoughts are what if it leads people down a rabbit hole to non-fact checked reporters and conspiracy theorists?
Peter Thaleikis
@benjidisciple that was my first thought too. Would be interesting to hear what @markmiscavage thinks about it...

@benjidisciple Conspiracy theories are no threat to a healthy democracy. I am a Cultural Scientist: Uscinski and Parent argue that conspiracy theories are connected to partisan distrust and are largely stable across the twentieth century. Michael Butter uses detailed historical cases from the Puritan witch trials to the Red Scare of the 1950s to show the central and influential role that conspiratorial beliefs have played in American history. Luc Boltanski focuses on conspiracy narratives in early detective and spy novels, but situates them in a broader account of the relation between the state, the social and political sciences, and popular representations of political power. Taken together, these books place the problem of conspiracy theory firmly in the context of democratic politics, opening important empirical and conceptual questions about partisanship, populism, publicity and secrecy. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi...

@benjidisciple lol you write this as if the mainstream media doesn’t push people down a rabbit hole to non-fact checked reports and conspiracy theories.

@benjidisciple The media has little interest in facts these days.

@benjidisciple You mean like the people who sold you the "weapons of mass destruction", I think this extension solves that

Linking a „louder with c“-video on the landing page (who has a history of homophobic/transphobic content) makes me question what „mainstream“ exactly means in this case.

@tafkaf You obviously don't watch enough Steven Crowder videos to be able to make that kind of judgement. Regardless, the extension can remove all types of mainstream media despite your political affiliation.
Florian Egermann
@sabastian_auth That answers my question. Unfortunately.

@tafkaf It literally lists all the channels it blocks, you dunce.

@sabastian_auth @tafkaf so unfortunate for you

@tafkaf People who use terms like homophobic/transphobic made this app necessary. You are the cancer of society and nobody likes you. Back to twitter.

This brings back “old YouTube” that was full of independent creators of various opinions and perspectives rather than the mainstream sources that are abundant every other place. This app should be seen as supporting grassroots over big business.

Great tool, removed undesirable / degenerate propaganda from YouTube

YouTube has decided to shove "Approved" Mainstream Content into your feed whether you want it to or not; completely skewing the recommendations in favor these giant corporations that have pathetic user engagement in reality, and get outperformed by many channels ran by just a single person behind a webcam. This extension returns to us the power to decide what media we consume.

Great idea. Wish it was available for Safari but I guess I’ll reinstall one of the supported browsers to check it out. I’ve noticed lately that YouTube is recommending nothing but news from ABC, MSNBC and CNN for me. These days no news channel just reports the facts (maybe BBC does?). They all either add their political in one way or another. Some are upfront about it while others report facts but only selective facts that support their political bias. Most of the “mainstream” media have a left leaning political bias IMO and I personally prefer to gather information from all sides and then make up my mind on issues. This will make it easier to filter out “mainstream” news after I’ve already heard their take on a story. Thank you for making this
