YouTube videos are usually either informative, entertaining, or both. However, there's also a high degree of toxic dysfunctional reality on display - for example, war, crime, cruelty and tragedy befalling both humans and animals. In order to avoid it you have to pass on ANY negative videos if you want the algorithm to feed you only positive content you like. Even then, the problem remains that there are so many ads on YouTube videos that a significant percentage of your viewing time is spent waiting for them to end.
The darkest side of YouTube isn't in the videos themselves, but in the comments sections under the videos. Here are the serious issues I've experienced...
What it all comes down to is this: Despite public claims to the contrary, YouTube does not want solutions to our social problems, it wants the problems to get worse. That's because most of YouTube's viewers tune in to wallow in problems instead of solutions. And the more viewers, the more advertising dollars and other massive income for YouTube. The proof is in what comments I've had YouTube delete, which are overwhelmingly the objective, insightful ones. What remains in comments sections (in the countless millions) are the ignorant, hostile comments.
In spite of current active lawsuits against YouTube for channeling hate speech to mass shooters and other political radicals and criminals, YouTube continues to maintain a bias for hate speech, while actively opposing socially responsible comments, as follows -
Here's a comment by a viewer that YouTube ALLOWED to be posted under a video about Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing (the below response was to a post saying that McVeigh should have turned to God instead)...
"Oh shut the $#*! Up bible thumper. Shove your imaginary friend up your $#*!. I'm $#*!in sick of y'all pushin that $#*! On everyone. Keep that bull$#*! To yourself unless you're speaking with a fellow gullible idiot."
(Note- There were no exclamation marks in the YouTube comment. The expletives were left written as they'd be heard on the street).
Here's my own comment (under a different video) that YouTube immediately DELETED, about Rebecca Grossman, a wealthy middle-aged woman convicted of killing two children while racing her Mercedes SUV while intoxicated...
"To an entitled person, fair play and established procedure is malicious when it's aimed at their own violations of decency and responsibility. When that same fair play and procedure is aimed at anyone that's done THEM wrong, they feel it's never punitive enough."
Here's a call for future terrorist actions by a Muslim extremist, ALLOWED to be posted by YouTube in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel that killed 1,200 Israeli civilians...
"Slowly but surely, the Palestinians were able to show the true face of Zionism and Israel, albeit at a very high cost. The time for action will come. It is impossible to stop the liberation, this is a story that repeats itself more than once."
I reported it to YouTube censors as advocating terrorism, along with a comment that I'd report them to the FBI if they re-posted it. YouTube's final action was to delete my warning comment and re-post the terroristic comment.
In her book "How Civil Wars Start" Barbara Walter writes that: "Social Media doesn't just drive countries down the democratic ladder. It also heightens the ethnic, social, religious and geographic divisions that can be the first step in the creation of factions. This is because myth, emotions, and the politics of grievance (all of which drive factionalism) make for incredibly engaging content. Social Media algorithms encourage this divisive content. They segregate people by design, driving those whose values or opinions differ into ever-diverging realities, tearing societies apart." She continues: "Algorithms, by pushing outrageous material, allow nationalist extremists to shore up people's toxic views of 'the other' - thus creating divisions."
And yet it's become clear to me that in addition to deliberately encouraging general discord among viewers, YouTube goes even further by using it's selective censorship to support specific political groups (on either political extreme) that advocate social chaos.
Going by what gets 'Likes', the viewers themselves are only too happy to oblige them, vastly favoring angry, simplistic comments over anything sophisticated and productive. In addition to being impoverished of ideas, dialogues in the comments sections end very quickly. As soon as a conversation starts becoming interesting and insightful, the other person disappears like a rabbit down a hole. But the majority of my comments or replies are ignored. Among the few replies I make or receive, when I respond to them I never hear back unless I'm being negative. When I make positive replies to other's comments I almost never hear back from them.
Of all the toxic dysfunction on YouTube, the most disturbing to me are the comments under videos showing the killing and harming of animals. There, YouTube gives psychotics free reign with their sadistic approval of animal's suffering and death. Worse, YouTube only deletes comments pointing out how sick the other comments are. It's serves as ample evidence that YouTube is staffed by people suffering from the same psychotic traits, actively looking out for their own kind and discouraging the exposing of the sadism for what it is. Such practices by YouTube takes toxic, inhuman behavior into the realm of collective mental illness that includes YouTube employees themselves.
The dubious reassurance for all the above is that YouTube comments sections are little more than an echo chamber that gives you the shallow, fleeting illusion that your views matter to others, while actually just providing you an empty space within which you're essentially just talking to yourself. Typically your comments will only drown in thousands of others, because most people lose interest in the video itself, along with the comment they made on it, in mere hours.
YouTube comments sections are nonetheless addictive, raising expectations of connection with other people but ultimately delivering an opposite sense of alienation. They are slightly intoxicating, like smoking cigarettes, yet in the end I only feel toxified, not intoxicated.
In conclusion, I strongly advise you to avoid YouTube comments sections unless you're looking for the sharing of factual information under a practical category of video, such as technology. On the human side of things, most comments drag you down into a lower level of yourself. So much in modern society is doing that to us these days, but YouTube does it more quickly and intensely than most other aspects of society. As one of Robin Williams' movie characters said: "I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not - the worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone."
