I'm not sure it's just right leaning users. I'm pretty far to the left and I keep ketting anti-trans, anti-covid right wing talking points quite frequently. I keep pressing thumbs down but they keep coming.
They're supposed to enrage you so you use their platform longer, hate-share the videos so others use their platform, etc. They know what they're doing.
Which is why I don't share it, and I downvote it.
Clearly what I need to do next is immediately kill the tab or close the app.
