I lurk on the teachers subreddit and get shown videos by teachers on TikTok and the impression I get from that algorithmic bubble is that the kids can't read any more - reading comprehension in particular is terrible. Lots of anecdotes of kids who can't read a few paragraphs and then answer questions about what was in them.

My impression of that sub is that it's a lot of people who went through honors classes in a "good" school district, and are now teaching non-honors, potentially in a "bad" school district and are discovering how the other half lives.

That subreddit is likely an echo chamber.

You would not judge what people think about politics by only reading comments on a Hasan Piker video (or only on a Nick Fuentes video).

That's why I said "the impression I get from that algorithmic bubble"

Hasan Piker's political project polls extremely high (universal healthcare, abortion access, and more), so actually you could understand American voter politics by reading Hasan's comments amusingly enough.

He's also banned from the UK for being a terrorist, so make of that what you will.

"Being a terrorist", really?
