The existence of those videos are poor representations of reality. The algorithm loves content that tells us what we want to hear

Go watch Fox News and see how every problem they talk about Trump has the last word on. How they make Republicans feel like they're constantly being stepped on and condescended by Democrats. How Trump is taking a personal and active role in solving problems

Is it all bullshit? Obviously. But it's the same as the algorithm. People watch things that tell them what they want to hear
