Making legal precedent so that they AVOID showing the offending content instead of PROMOTING the offending content is probably the goal

About 30-40 times a day, Youtube shorts shows me videos actively advocating violence, and I know for sure that Google has enough money and resources currently to prevent these videos being shown, considering it AUTOMATICALLY SUBTITLES THEM

I'm guessing you're algorithms from search results generate that content cuz I never see this kind of stuff

Doesn't help that everyone and their mother has a channel that only shows Joe Rogan clips. I don't even like this shit YouTube, why can I recognize it from the fucking microphone.
