Reply to comment by WCAIS_PA_Individual in I am 100% for this and want to see what everyone in Pennsylvania thinks ? Kill a parent drunk driving pay child support. by [deleted]

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but people believe IG's algorithm deprioritizes posts that mention "violent" or sexual words like kill, suicide, OnlyFans, etc. There's a lot of words people censor over there or use "cute" alternatives like "unalive" or "🌽⭐"

I feel sorry for people that use actual social media for information like this, because they obviously aren't getting a unbiased or even a slightly skewed information base.

I don't use IG, or FB, or LinkedIn (ew), or SnapChat, or Twitter for that matter (or Trumps platform)

People are way too easily emotionally controlled by those algorithms . Sad

You see it on police interrogation videos on YouTube as well. Some guy will be telling the cops about how he dismembered a college student and mailed the body parts to foreign embassies, but if he happens to say the word “sex” then it gets muted. Gotta keep the algorithm happy. Strange.

Its all advertising.

Companies don't want their shit advertised on stuff that has negative connotations.

This honestly has a chilling effect of the type of content made. For example, try making a modern, information based videos on WWII. Youtube will demonetize it, so Youtube educators just... don't.

There are other platforms you can put the videos up on. And they do it. And it's ad-free. You don't have the right to force people to buy something they don't want. People are still able to make the content they want and share it. Hell, even this subreddit has rules against certain types of content.

I agree you can't force advertisers to spend ad dollars if they don't want to.

I'll have to disagree that it hasn't had a chilling effect. I dont have the examples off hand, but I know for sure creators have stopped content because of the policy.

If I didn’t know of literally other platforms that host excellent WW2 videos, I might agree with you. But no, they can make the content they want. They just want to get easy as money. That’s it.

I definitely dont want to hear about that. I am sure the cop doesn't care to either.

But give a punishment to a drunk drive that means something, not a bad idea.

I got a 7 day ban from Facebook for hate speech. The video I posted was a duck named Jerry biting some girl in the title, and thr caption was "kill her jerry!"

Funny fucking video by the way

It is true - recently IG even rolled out a feature that will let you see if your posts have been deemed too risqué/violent to be in “suggested”

Anything with overt sex or violence that the algorithm can pick up wont get suggested to other people they would have to find it themselves
