The reason you stumble upon youtube videos that make you uncomfortable is because we have a free and open web where anyone can publish whatever they want (except the most extreme content such as terrorism how-tos).

I don't see how this Mozilla tool could ever contribute to making the web more free and more open; in fact it seems to be designed by activists to make the web _less_ free and _less_ open.

Understanding how YouTube's algorithm works provides a more free and open web as it would be easier for anyone to use the algorithm to improve their views.

I really don't understand why people think this makes the web less free and open. Somebody voicing their opinion about a video to a third party doesnt block the video.
