I (straight man) keep seeing ads for feminine hygiene products, dildos, and sexy womens underwear. Also, ads for managing enterprise IT systems. I have no use for any of that stuff.

Maybe the targeting just isn't as good as the people selling their ad tech make it seem.

And that answers the question why 50% of Twitter staff were let go.

I don't use Twitter, I was talking about random web ads that I believe are served by Google (or companies that Google bought). Maybe they should fire half their staff too.

This implies that the algorithm identifies people who engage in leftwing politics and targets rightwing hashtags to them. I suppose that magnifies rage-engagement.

The (new) left is often just as racist/bigoted as the far right, sadly.

Rubbish

And this is an example of a “bubble“.

I was a (European) lefty my whole life. I lived on all continents for many years. Now back in Europe, I was shocked what the left has become. Full of bigotry and racism. I call it the “new left”.

Gladly, an increasing number of people seem to notice.

Interesting, I would like to know specific examples. Genuinely curious.

This is an interesting interview about a study done in the UK for the British government, and the reactions the researchers faced.

Not sure either, not in the mood to sift a video for clues. :)

What am I expected to find there? Antifa-style attacks on a finding they don't like?
