Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

    I see it on YouTube too. Go to any video of Mark Carney and all the comments are Russian bots spreading misinformation. Go to a video of him a week ago and the comments are universally positive.

      youtube is a different cesspool. ever since they announced they wont deny election deniers, its was game over, and then sudden increase in anti-woke, anti-lgbtq+ shorts pop on your feed if your not logged in. and then you see comments on scifi shows too. and showing trash influencers.

        You have to allow it though in the name of free speech… Let the potential idiots expose himself, centering people only potentially creates a Streisand effect

        I’ve had success with the “not interested in channel” button

          Yeah I have to heavily curate my YouTube but if you do it’s still full of really great stuff. I also have to keep myself on top of it, it’s easy to let yourself slip into trash content now and then.

          The comments are pretty universally bad though, even on the good content.
