There's no denying what happened after the pandemic started....no fucking flight noise, no car noises, fresh air. It was a sort of soundscapes utopia. You could actually hear the birds chirping their asses off from happiness.
We're never actually going to win this arms race. We need a structural solution. Perhaps we could look into, maybe, decentralizing social media so no single algorithm ends up controlling huge chunks of it?
I support opposing misinformation directly. Hold the authors accountable by making them justify what they say against actual published science. Press them with punishment and make them change their tune. At this point they are a cancer killing humanity and we should have very little humanity left for them.
Yeah YouTube monetizes anything with a drama clickbait title, ghost-dick-in-the-mouth-face, red arrow and circle bullshit. But then again, people click on it, so it's our own fault. It's just like that seo crap, people fall for it and rotten people know how to game the system.
Generally speaking all of the climate change deniers that I'm familiar with in everyday life, they have fully transitioned from "its not happening" to "its happening but doesnt matter because (pick one) A. It's just a sign of the end times of my religion. B. It's just a cycle and there's nothing we did to cause it or can do to stop it.
Once again the goal posts get shifted and we see them admit to something and then fall on yet another reason why we shouldn't concern ourselves due to the real reason that they just don't give a shit.
Content creators have spent the past five years developing new tactics to evade YouTube's policies blocking monetization of videos making false claims about climate change, a report from a nonprofit advocacy group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), warned Tuesday.
Verified by researchers, the AI model used was judged accurate in labeling climate-denial content approximately 78 percent of the time.
But a spokesperson confirmed to Ars that the majority of videos that the CCDH found were considered compliant with YouTube's ad policies.
Currently, YouTube's policy prohibits monetization of content "that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change."
The group recommended tweaking the policy to instead specify that YouTube prohibits content "that contradicts the authoritative scientific consensus on the causes, impacts, and solutions to climate change."
"It is vital that those advocating for action to avert climate disaster take note of this substantial shift from denial of anthropogenic climate change to undermining trust in both solutions and science itself, and shift our focus, our resources and our counternarratives accordingly," the CCDH's report said, adding that "demonetizing climate-denial" content "removes the economic incentives underpinning its creation and protects advertisers from bankrolling harmful content."
