Thanks for sharing dude. We have scientific evidence that the media is pushing for moral degeneracy.

Is this supposed to be said evidence? I'm not buying it. This is only YouTube, not all of "the media", and even then, they don't know what the hell their algorithm is doing (this is not the first time of that being the case), or they would have already fixed it. They're not doing it on purpose. What do they have to gain from pushing pedophilia to normal people? Nothing, it will just cause backlash against them (like here!). And the people who want to watch this stuff of course won't complain, but there's so few of them that it doesn't get YT any significant ad revenue or anything. You can't turn someone into a pedophile (especially not by recommending them content on YouTube), if that's what you were going for, just like you can't cure pedophilia. You're either born with it, or not.

I think it caused by some losers (erotic video lovers) after the viewed the erotic video ,they often click the video with naked children.

I notice erotic video/literature lovers often become loving more and more extreme content of porn so that's inevitable.

Disagree, people have been complaining to YT for years about this issue. If the issue is so bad that advertisers have to proactively boycott the platform, there's something seriously wrong at YT.

but there's so few of them that it doesn't get YT any significant ad revenue or anything

Disagree, lots of these videos of kids have millions of views and I believe ads running.

So what you can do for it if you run the YT? Ban all erotic videos and videos with children?

I found losers in romantic relationship with adults tend to become more and more love child porn as well. So how can you stop them being losers?

No, don't ban either. YT certainly can't stop it all, but they could have done a lot more over the years on specific issues. For example kids getting pushed Elsagate content is one. Or kids videos being time stamped and cross linked in a creepy ways to the point where they have insanely high view counts. In the past YT has been criticized for removing pedo timestamp comments but not banning these users entirely.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying though. They can't fix it because they don't know how to. Their algorithm is essentially a black box like most machine learning systems are (that's what they're using, right?). And they're not about to ditch it because it makes them money, and the backlash isn't big enough yet. Might be soon, with all those advertisers pulling out, who knows.

They do? Alright, fair enough, didn't know that.

This is fair, but at the same time, they could easily pre and post filter the results and massage the data a bit. YT pulls money out of thin air, they have essentially unlimited resources.

Yep. In my book there's a pretty high probability that they knowingly profited from pedos and the huge view counts. I think they have demonetized more aggressively lately, but that was only after backlash too.
