The problem is the same as our current society, some people will never get along, stop trying to put everyone in a single platform

People generally can get along, it's just in certain countries there is this state pushed divide and conquer [1] that's been going on for way too long.

Kind of like how police brutality wouldn't exist if there were no police at all?

How do you propose to pick the next autoplay video?

How do you propose making advertisers happy?

Easy to cry censorship; hard to address real business issues.

Easy as all getout.

1. Don't have "autoplay". Make the user choose. Autoplay is not good for society. "Tip your head back, turn your brain off, and let the algorithm feed you what will keep you here."

2. Give the advertisers more fine grained controls on what types of videos their ads show on. If a stink goes up because Dove doesn't want to be on a PewDiePie video, then that isn't Google's fault. It's Dove's. Let the advertiser add PDP to the blacklist, or make a more exclusive whitelist.

It's like Twitter. "Oh, oh no... how do we stop people seeing all this awful content?"

A) Stop deciding for the user (and therefore the entire website) what is awful

B) Give the user better blocking controls.

However, this won't happen, because Google and Twitter like being able to shape what the "algorithm" shows you, and keeping that control in their hands. This is why the chronological timeline isn't coming back.

Totally cool that it's easy for you! Except that youtube doesn't want to do 1, and for 2, you have to classify the videos to let the advertisers choose, which is exactly the same problem that youtube already has.

Have advertisers select on what kind of content they want to appear instead of baring all ads for some creators? I'm sure some advertisers don't mind being associated with mature audience.

4chan tried that; everyone knows how spectacularly that failed.

Failed? It's doing quite well

4chan famously did an about face post-Gamergate and started moderating heavily. The whole reason we're talking about 8chan now with respect to racial violence is that those folks were all effectively ejected from 4chan.

It's doing quite well ...after instituting moderation.

I hope after ditching war on drugs, war on sex/nudity will be next. The censorship artist has to do on their creations just to pass FB moderation is ridiculous. Like they are literally blurring the nipples only. Whom does it help? It just destroys the art. And I still cannot wrap my head around why nudity is so vilified and violence so glorified. It should be the other way around.
