Abby Shapiro, the sister of conservative talking head Ben Shapiro, has recently made her entrance into social media starting her own YouTube channel sometime last year. Originally it was all pretty benign stuff like beauty tips, etc. But recently this summer she made a big pivot into conservative politics and her videos simultaneously started appearing on everyone's front page.
The reason I bring this up is because it seems like the rise of her channel directly contradicts the conservative narrative that is championed by so many great ring wing intellectuals on this forum. That being conservative voices are intentionally suppressed by groups like YouTube.
Turns out the direct opposite is taking place. YouTube is forcing Abby Shapiro down our throats by altering their front page algorithms thanks to large amounts of cash from her big brother. Despite having at the time having a measly 30-40,000 followers she was consistently appearing on the front page for weeks. Many people are claiming that they're specifically reporting or choosing to ignore her channel but are still getting her videos forced into their front page.
A quick look at her video page and the trend is obvious. The majority of her videos get less than 30K, or even less than 10K views, but certain videos, the ones forced on us, have exponentially more. (And fuck loads of dislikes)
Despite the majority of her videos getting disliked at a rate of 2:1 or more, the videos still appeared in front pages of millions of users for weeks.
What's everyone think of this?
Some examples.
Now this is the video release directly before the one above.
