popular != true

Yes - Those were my supporting points. It should go without saying that popular things are often not true.

My main point is they’re not doing this out of some agenda. They’re doing this to deflect that their algorithms PROMOTED misinformation via their recommendation engine.

That’s a step beyond hosting content.

Honestly, this PR strategy is working too. Look at how many dopes are arguing whether YouTube should or shouldn’t censor their content.
