If "harmful" is the new litmus test, then Amazon should be taking down a lot more books. (Not that I think they should, but if that's the ostensible standard)

Amazon's recommendation algorithms don't seem to skew as extreme as YouTube's, in my experience?

Probably to be chalked up to the difference between "I'll watch something that shocks me" and "I'll buy something that shocks me."
